They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

Re: heartbroken
It happens to the best of us. I set my watering bowl on top of one of my babies about a week ago and it smothered it.
I felt so bad about it I haven't said anything about it. I now have a clear watering bowl.

Re: heartbroken
It may not be the most popular liner but I use news paper. I like it because I can get the enclosure cleaner and particles won't stick to the food.

Keeping garters is a learning experience for all of us. Most of us have been where you are. Originally Posted by slipknot711
