#2261026 Baja View Profile	Finally I got a snake So after about 6 months of waiting to get a snake I finally got one. It’s a garter or ribbon snake it said. I just went to Sporting Goods and found a Petco nearby. I already knew how to take care of snakes, but I didn’t think I’d get one today. Since I missed the November reptile expo and February one I didn’t want to wait until May again. I haven’t handled him yet because I want him to get used to his cage first. He’s a foot and a half so any estimates on how old he is I was thinking around 10 months. If you have any name suggestions you can tell me.

Oh and btw I’m gonna pick up some plywood and make a snake rack or a turtle cage :D..... it seems like your snake could be anywhere from 5-10 months but that’s just guessing on the rate of growth for corns so lol

#2261418 Imelmoandiknowit View Profile	Message To: Old rex   In reference to Message Id: 2261322  Finally I got a snake Congrats. I had an albino checkered garter snake that just died. We had a brown northern die a few days before she did. We are pretty sure it had to be the earthworms we were giving them. She was completly healthy a few days before she died. Sad thing is I had just switched garter over to pinkies but she could only handle the newborn ones which I was out of so gave her the earthworm to tide her over. I did not realize that earthworms from bait shops can have pesticides. So if your snake is on worms be careful where you get them.

#2261486 Baja View Profile	Message To: Chameleon_man   In reference to Message Id: 2261434  Finally I got a snake I’ve been feeding mine earthworms and feeder guppies. Since Champ (because my dog’s name is Bailey if you like the Denver Broncos you get why I named him that) is 1 1/2 is he big enough to be fed pinkie mice.

Remember, if a neighbor uses it, chances are the critters in your yard carry traces. Good luck!

#2262143 Baja View Profile	Message To: Baja   In reference to Message Id: 2262141  Finally I got a snake I have a strange idea and was wondering if it might work. Did any of you ever think about trying to grow grass in a living vivarium. Would you have to fertilize it though is my question because I know fertilizer is bad for most animals to eat?

#2262144 Chameleon_man View Profile	Message To: Baja   In reference to Message Id: 2262143  Finally I got a snake i would definitely do some recherché on that before planting grass. I know some grass is dangerous for animals. i feed my garter snake as many as he will eat in a week. (he normally eats about 6-10 a week)
