Hi Joe, welcome to the forum. What species have you got?

[Stefan-A]

Welcome aboard, Joe.

Welcome aboard, good job choosing to research first! You will find info here to answer pretty much any question you may have about your snakes.

[Edcase]

Thamnophis marcianus . They are the Chequered garter snakes. They are quite young still but one of them is eating pinkies. I havent seen the other one eat one yet as i only got them 2day. I have split them up though and put a pinkie in the tank for the female so the other one doesnt have another meal

[adamanteus]

Nice species choice, Joe. I also have T. marcianus. Some of our members have albino Checkereds, mine are normal colour though. Are yours normal or albino?

[Edcase]

Just the normal type not albino.

[adamanteus]

Just the normal type not albino.

I can see you're a man of good taste!

Welcome to the forum. I also have some marcianus, 1 normal colored and 1 albino. Very fun snakes, enjoy them.
