Psycho Garter Snake !!!

:roll: Okay,
So I purchased a good sized Garter snake just for giggles to add to my snake collection and would you believe out of all my snakes this little bugger is stone mean. He/she is a pure display snake...totally unhandleable, extremely high strung, will vent its cloaca in a second and will not hesitate to bite. Crazy... :shock: I just keep him/her in its enclosure and toss in goldfish and run like #@!#

Too funny... :twisted: I sure am glad that she/he is not bigger....I can just imagine what it would be like to deal with "Pyscho" ( my name for it ) if he/she were the size of a reticulated python or something.Sheesh. So much for Garter snakes being these cute little toy snakes if you know what I mean...I got a Garter that is insane in the membrane...hehehehhehe :lol:

You should try to handle the one you are going to get before you even think of getting it.

But that is pretty crazy! Sounds like you got a psycho. Maybe you should wear rubber gloves and handle it.

i think that would be fun, my ball python is so tame its almost boring (not that i want him to be all crazy and bite me but...) hopefully i will soon find out about high strung little guys,keep your fingers crossed for me.

does his bite hurt very much ?? I imagine it woudent, ive been bit by some bigger snakes (burmese python) and it didnt hurt TOO bad ,does it compare to that ?

ah...it is no big deal when she bites...it is just the principle of the thing if you know what I mean. This funny garter is so mean it is ridiculous...it is actually rather amusing. I just leave her/him to itself and just watch as it eats and hangs out. Every snake hobbyist should have a Garter snake...your collection really isnt complete without one...heh heh heh...
