Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Problems feeding garters
Hello everyone,
Hoping someone can help me. I bought a large breeding group of
Iowa plains. My male albino and the three young ones in the group are eating like champs. My two het females, both very large and fat and one breeder said is possibly gravid will not eat for me. I have tried fish,scented fuzzies and pinks,and chicken. They both are very alert and drinking and acting normally. Should i be concerned? Any suggestions? Thanks for your time.
Lou

Something that almost always worked for me was letting a live fish flop around in front of them. Also, make sure the snakes are at the proper temperatures and are not stressed (they have their own hiding spots, aren't handled or looked in on too often, and have the right humidity.) I wouldn't be worried if they are healthy and fat... a snake can go for months without food.

Every garter snake I've ever had goes wild for worms. This is one of their most natural prey. Night crawlers are easily obtained from fishing bait sources. If slugs are native to your location (I think they are not) they are also a great source of feeding material. In Washington slugs make up a huge percentage of garter diets. Worms, slugs, and fish make for messy cages though!
