    Hello From Scarnton PA

    Good Day,

    I am new to snake ownership, I have common Garter 24" in length and is seemingly healthy. It really likes earthworms and goldfish, he actually smiles when he gets a goldfish. I joined to make sure that I raise the snake properly and give it a happy life. My 6 year old daughter named it Alice and we take care of the snake together.


    Thank you for having me

    Eric(barrels)

    Welcome from NY Eric.

    I second the no goldfish motion. Kevin said it well.

    Converting to pinky mice is a breeze with a little bit of effort.
