This me? If so, THANKS! Nice to be called a lady - though I'll be the first to admit I'm not very lady like... But nice o'you, Dekay, to label me as such!

And I, for one, am a certifiable Chief Head-Loony. Typing with my nose right now due to the straight jacket...

Dekay! You forgot to mention cutting the night crawlers up so they don't wiggle through the snake and come out the other end! YIKES!

And... Just to set the record straight... Peepers and Jeepers STILL act like little kids and are just as nutz and strange as I am!

We had a lady join the forum this summer looking for her first garter snake, she got 2 yearling garters, so all the strange baby behavior was over before she started.

Hello and welcome to the forum!
I think this is the busiest welcome thread I've ever seen........

Thanks guys

I think the snake was bred by a breeder. This petstore gets most of its animals from local breeders.

Anji,I was thinking the same thing. I haven't been on this forum for long, but 7 pages in just a few hours lol.

I've been thinking,"wow, people respond very fast on this forum" =)

And you thought your first 1000 posts would take forever.
You may just set a record if you keep up this pace!

Duck, this is about the only place we let off passion. I can't talk about my sniglettes with anyone by my fiends here. Nobuddy I know personally likes snakes.

Well, Hillbilly Jo and Dave, the Naturalist at the park, THEY do. But I only get to see them when I work at the park.

I LIVE for my weekends when I can cuddle and pester and bother my babies. And while I do that I sit here and jabber with everyone. What's cool is since we're from all over the world SUMBUDDY's up and awake no matter what time you get on!

Very very cool, yup.

And, Duck, you had a LOT of questions to be answered and answers have been tossed in with the howdy-doos.

I'm also here as soon as I get home from work. I'm single, an only child, no living 'rents, no family - near me or I want to deal with anyway... So my pets (cats and two Pugs as well as the snakes) are my life.

Yeah. I need a life. But, hay! I'm happier'un flies on snake poo!

Lol, I just might

A question if you will...Not sure if you'll be able to answer, just thought I'd try.

If I construct a pond in my garters tank, how do I get the cable out (from the filter) without creating gaps for a garter to escape?

To clarify.... The cable that runs the filter, and plugs into the outlit. I'd need to go from inside of the tank to the outlit. I'm not sure on how to get it out without creating a hole, which a snake could escape from, any ideas?

- If you still don't understand, just ask for some more clarification.

[anji1971]

The only thing I can think of is using duct tape on the OUTSIDE of the tank around the hole. Silicone would seal it but then everytime you need to get in there you'd have to peel it apart and reseal. Duct tape's quicker!
Someone else may have better ideas though. I've never used a filtered water feature in my tank. Just a good old plastic tub.

Just make sure if you use duct tape you check that all sticky parts are well away from possible snake contact!

If I had no hubby or kids... I would have a house full of animals, reptiles & fish!!! LOL Apparently I need a life too! Hubby walks by & says... you are always looking at snakes, is that all you think about?, & I say....

YES!!! he he

Anji, I'm not quite clear on what your talking about.

Cut a whole in the duct tape? Then run the wire through there?
