Draco, Albino Checkered Garter

[CloudtheBoa]

Considering they're native here, I'd just match them to outdoor conditions. Shoot, I could even brumate them outside. And yeah, fish bait, mice, or fish, finding food for them is easy as cake.
He's looking good! Say, could you get a size comparison pic, like next to something like a sharpie or some other sort of common household object. Man, those big red eyes remind me of Invader Zim...

I would be careful brumating outside, it can get colder or warmer than what you need since you can't control the temps. Sure, wild snakes survive it in the wild but if it gets too cold some can die and it if gets warm enough to get them active again and they don't get back in their den they can get locked out in the cold. Garters normally brumate together as well, which keeps them slightly warmer than they would out in the open. I wouldn't keep it any colder than 40F. Of course, it would be easier to skip brumation altogether so you don't have to worry about slowly lowering/rising temps and watching temps. They don't have to brumate, and I'm not brumating Draco. As long as you keep their temps nice and warm and stable they won't go into brumation.

awesome snake, I may have to get a garter some day, but I've got my eyes set on something else first...

They are fun. What are you getting?
