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.

Yes that snake is that color. We get blue garters where I am from.Almost like the one in the pic. And if you are looking into easy fed snakes without rodent food sources,then you want to look into the garters,waters,ribbons,racers,coachwhips. Now the coachwhips and racers can be aggressive if wild caught,however if they are c.b. they do real well with handling them and easy to work with and the reason for this suggestion is that they eat frogs,birds,rodents, lizards and other snakes. this gives you a wider range of food sources. But highly recomend the garters or ribbons.The will readily eat frogs,feeder fish(guppies) goldfish are ok occasionally high in oil not good for the snake if comsuming nothing but gold fish.and they love earthworms or nightcrawlers(big worms) and you can switch back and forth with these food items.And it is hard to keep e.hognose,s.hognose if you don,t have a steady supply of toads for the winter,great snakes though,love them.The mud snakes are hard to come by and are one of the most difficult to care for! Do some further research on the garters and ribbons,thats the best bet!

He is really that colour. Puget Sound garter snakes are known for the stunning blue.

Sorry I forgot to mention the worm snakes,ringnecks and or storeia deckayi,roug or smooth earth snakes,these are all worm feeders also. Yes our Florida blue garters are a real pretty blue as well as those. I have also seen red sided garters come in that were blue with no red,those were really sharp.

Seems like everyone forgot about the king of the colubrids - eastern Indigo. They are generalists, and mine has done well on a diet of anoles, fish, quail, frogs, toads, etc. I would feed him snakes, but I don't find a lot of snakes where I live, nor do I see a lot of DOR snakes. (I do feed him rabbit pinkies as well, since they are high protein/low fat.) Anyway, I would absolutely recommend them as pets... if the owner is prepared and able to go the extra mile with regard to maintenance (ie, they crap a lot) and obtaining the non-rodent foods. I often say my indigo is more like a dog than a snake. For some reason, they seem to have no fear of humans.

Garters are fun snake pets, but do best as singles. Most will learn to eat strips of beef heart or fish along with alive diet. It's good to remember that some people don't like snakes! There are other nice squamates, a bearded dragon, for instance.

Corn snakes don't require rodents.
