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...

Congrats on your new addition. Sounds like she is a crazy one.

LOL! Thats funn!. And be glad shes not a retic :shock:

Interesting addition, good luck with it. How's her diet so far? Is she eating the goldfish ok? I've heard of people having hard times keeping them because of the different kind of diet they have.
