[Hazeldarc]

so is it weird that i will look into my snakes tank and call his name then duck down and he come to the front glass and looks at me ??? kinda like peek-a-boo lol...and he follows my finger around the glass, but i think he does that cause he is hungry ???

Looks male to me too.

I feed once a day like Richard. It's possible, but you have to do it right...

I feed SMALL meals. Like, 1 (or almost one) nightcrawler cut up into a few peices, and some f/t safe fish. Pinkies wen a available..

If you want to feed everyday, I would wait a few days, (like 3) before feeding again, than start doing it little meals each day..

but is my snake a baby still or full grown i have 5 sheds from him since we caught him

No, he's a young adult. A good stuffing of night crawlers a couple of times a week should be plenty. He appears to have excellent body mass. He's getting enough to eat.

and is Brumation a have to do thing cause winter is just around the corner and i dont understand what do in that case

Brumating isn't usually necessary. Personally I don't do it unless I plan on breeding them but sometimes your snake becomes aware of shortening days or other cues or after a few years of skipping, will go off of food and want to brumate in order to "reset" their clock. In a case like that, turning off the heat/light and keeping them cool for a couple of months does the trick.

how often do garters shed mine sheds like once a month

How often depends on growth rate. Every 4-6 weeks is a very fast growth rate. Your snake is probably very young. The rate changes eventually as growth slows. My babies usually shed every 4 weeks. Fully grown adults usually shed 2-3 times a year.

thank you all, you all have helped me alot

Good looking guy you have there. I also agree with it being male and you've been given great advise about feeding. I feed my adults once a week, but they get mainly mice which take longer to digest than worms & fish. Even with worms/fish, though, a couple of times a week should be plenty. Oh, and I let my guys take as much as they want when I do feed them.

Please share pics of your new birthday snake when you get him

Yup, definitely looks like a male. It'd be good to see pics of the new snake once you get it.

I have every skin that came out whole and in tact from most of my snakes. Really shows the progress they made as the skins get bigger.
