hey,
don't think keeping rats snakes with garter snakes,is a good choice.I've got my young rat snakes together,plans where to separate them,but their doing so well together,i just might leave them,their eating every week,and growing aleast a inch+ per month,even with numerous hiding places,their always together,24" Okeetee Red Rat,22" Baird's and 23" Fox,as far as coloring goes,it hard to tell with Rat Snakes,but the Okeetee Red Rat was a b-day present a year ago,it was 15" then,its color has gotten a little brighter,the orange base color mainly,but overall,it hasn't changed drastically.and from what i can tell,this will be her adult coloring,yet,one of my other Red Rats,was a cream color base at 14",he's now close to 30",and he's base color is now a med.golden/brown.

Brandon,

I have no idea why the ratsnakes are not eating the garter snakes. How long have they been together?

[brandon0133]

i removed them from the tank,,they went right under the ground and stayed hidden over night,i had to dig them out and i put them back in with the baby corn snakes,, but i removed them once and put them right beside the garters and i did not see any problems,,they just licked each other alittle and slithered away,,

yes but he tank is covered so they cant play together anymore,,the turtle grabed the new garter and drug him into the tank,,lol,,did not hurt him but i cant take the chance now,,so hes got a new metal roof and neither can get in of out of the little tank now,,
