I've been kinda quiet lately because my internet connection has, well, fizzled out of existrence. I'm posting this from our local, friendly public library. We ARE planning on switching internet providers SOON but, until that happens, I'm gonna have to carry around my forum passwords with me. ( Because I can't remember them all! )
Anyway, yesterday I went to feed my garters only to find out my tiny, evil one, Saphira, had died sometime while I was gone this weekend. In spite of the fact she was a little hellion, I'm still rather bummed. I'm also kinda mad at myself for buying her from some faceless dude on the internet and not from knowledgable, friendly people like you guys who give a damn where their babies go. I should have known better! UGH!

Re: NOT a Good Day
I'm so sorry about your loss, Devon. Do you know what had happened to her? Or is it just a mystery?

Re: NOT a Good Day
Devon, I'm sorry to hear you lost Saphira. How sad. Sometimes the little ones just go and we never know why. I lost a few of them this year that way. They had been thriving since last August (2009)

Re: NOT a Good Day
Garter snakes(especially T.s.parietalis-Red Sided Garter snake) are probably the most studied snake in the world but yet there is so much we don't know about them.
As tough as they are, they are also fragile.
Many times they don't show any symtoms of illness or injury until its too late.Steve

Re: NOT a Good Day
Ditto.
I would hate to leave them that long, but if I did, I'd turn off their heat as a precaution.
How's the baby red spot I sent to you? Doing OK I hope?

Re: NOT a Good Day
I don't think I'll buy another blue unless I can see it in person and talk to the seller face to face. I'm beginning to really question who I bought her from, especially from everything I've read here. I mean there's no way to be certain the guy wasn't one of those people who grabs every wild snake from his local and tries to sell it. Sigh! Live and learn. grumble!
