    :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... 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:

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

    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...
