    Re: A picture of your favorite or oldest garter snake

    Well, my fave, the oldest and the one that stole my heart and started this whole mess would not be a Garter, But rather Xena the Dekay Brown snake. ( I read once they are like cousins to the garter snake, not sure though)



    Xena is one unique critter, she will not ever be out of captivity, I set her down out in the yard once, she wrapped the end of her tail around my finger so tight it almost hurt, She has only escaped twice, and came straight to me both times. She is a honey, defies all logic.. When she passes on it will hit this whole family hard.

    If I am reading this snake correctly, she craves handling.. I know it sounds strange, but she will sit in my left hand and eat from my right hand. The only other snake I have that will do that is Sky my Puget, and that's only because he is a piggie that never turns down food. (maybe she is too, however you slice it, feeding out of your hand is cool)

    My first snake, a male parietalis. Died almost a year ago. I'd trade a tetra and a vagrans for another one like him.

    Stefan, I'd give you one if you were not so far away.

    Scooty will always be my favorite... He died almost a year and a half ago and I consider him my first snake.

    However, nowadays it's a close competition between James, my male butler's, and Fatty, the eastern I raised from a squiggle.
