    Wild Gartes together

    I was just wondering how well Mr. pink would get along with another larger wild caught male garter...I would of course watch them for the first bit but has anyone encountered any serious problems...I have read a few posts about feeding problems.If anyone could fill me in I would appreciate it!

    I always try to keep Garters of similar size together. But then I'm a bit paranoid about accidental cannibalism!

    My biggest concern is spreading pathogens/parasites, but since they're both newly acquired, formerly wild snakes... it wouldn't seem to matter. Like James says, though, it's best to keep snakes of similar (not necessarily the same) size together.

    I guess i should try to use my best judgement, would hate to loose a cool snake like Mr. pink...he's the first snake i've trusted in almost 13yrs.
