Re: Hello From Missouri!!!!
Welcome aboard.
For a first garter I'd recommend one of the species with the broadest diets, in other words T. sirtalis, T. radix or T. elegans. Not that the difference is that great, but some specialists can be difficult to keep.

Re: Hello From Missouri!!!!
I would recommend T.radix. Stefan's advise is sound.
Nice to have you with us. I only recommend radix because that's what I specialize in. They seem very adaptive. I've had wild caught eat from my hand moments after being caught. I also hand feed a number of wild ones that live around my property.
What area of the county are you in?
Stupid question. I'm guessing Missouri. Radix is right up your alley. If you ever make it up to Council Bluffs, you are welcome to come by and pick out a radix from my group. No charge.Last edited by guidofatherof5; 09-12-2009 at 12:05 AM. Reason: Asked a stupid question and wanted to admit to it.

Missouri, eh, Brett? What part? I went to school in Clayton, just north of St. Louis.
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.
