Hey everyone! I am a keeper of lizards but have been interested in garters for a while and was very happy to discover the wealth of species being bred for keeping! I should hopefully be getting my first snake at the end of June from Gregmonsta, (hi Greg!) and been planning its care so want to run a few ideas by you!
The snake was born in April so will only be a few months old so can you guys recommend what size thank would suit it? I have a 3ft exo terra but considering cleaning and substrate I'm thinking of spilling it into a 18x18inch if the snake won't need that much space at first. Or I have smaller tanks if it will freak out with so much room. I have heard some snakes don't like too much space and they stop eating, is this the same for garters?

Also thinking about feeding methods and thought it might be a good idea to chop up fish and pinkies into pieces and freeze them in ice cube trays so individual food cubes can be defrosted and given to the snake. Does this sound like a good idea? I am basically not going to get away with keeping whole pinkies in my parents freezer.

Really excited to be getting a super cool snake
