    My first colubrid:-)

    After a trip to my local reptile store to look at the monitor lizards I have come home with this awesome little garter snake.
    I've been researching colubrid and held a Mandarin rat snake but I couldn't warrant the £200 asking price, I then saw this little shoe lace.
    These are so awesome in person, pics just don't do them justice...
    I was warned he is tiny and on fish still at only 7"ish, I couldn't resist, I thought I would attempt to feed when I got home so defrosted a whole silverside fish that I had in the freezer and sliced a piece off. I waved it over him and he didn't seem interested so I floated it in his bowl as advised.
    I had read worms are in their diet to so grabbed a worm from our garden and washed it off then tossed it in the bowl too.
    I'm luck to have wandered back by the tank 10min later, I caught him grabbing the fish and chucking it from the water bowl lol, then he grabbed the worm and swallowed it down lol!!?
    He carried the fish about a bit afterwards, maybe he will eat that later haha...

    I'm so happy with him, or her? Any ideas for a unisex name for the little dude/dudette?
