    Hi im new

    Hi, im new from iceland

    There is a ban here for all snakes. but im a little rascal and got me one from Uk a checkered garter snake hes 4 mounths old 35 cm and dont know the weight.

    He looks healthy and fine. I have him in a 20 inches * 20 inches * 45 inches tank . its an old cabinet with plexi glass doors . i made my background self out of sika boom uritan and waterpaint and epoxy paint sealant. look really realistic.
    any ways i was wondering if its a good diet if i feed him . salmon and pinkies and gubbies , do i need to feed him worms ? cuz they are very hard to get here in iceland.

    and what is the right hygro level ? and temp. on the cool and hot shight ?

    should i have a heat mat or heat light ?

    sry for my bad english

    Welcome aboard.

    Don't worry, your English is fine. The humidity should be around 40-60% and the temperature in the cooler end of the terrarium can be room temperature and the heated can be about 30-40 degrees. Doesn't matter if you use a mat or a light and you don't have to feed him worms, if he'll eat fish and mice.
