Garter Snake Care

[turtlesonaplane576]

hey,im thinking of getting a baby checkered garter an im wondering if for its whole LIFE could i only feed it feeder fish every once and a while and nightcrawlers as the staple diet

[ExtremeHerps]

@turtlesonaplane576 Mice would be better when it is older and they are easier to feed in my opinion

[kingkong21ble]

[TheRay2k]

[nasierj360]

[coppercapisgay]

@extremeherps are they a good pet as I have seen one for £40

[gunner8254]

i hate snakes

[sqboyz23]

@kmadtut98 oh..... One more thing.....erm is there garter snake in Asia like Singapore or Malaysia?

[kmadtut98]

@sqboyz23 no u can not put a snake in a air conditioned room, there body temp would drop rlly fast, so keep it at room temp or with even a heat lamp

[sqboyz23]

@ExtremeHerps what about heatings? Can I put their tank in my air-conditioned room? Thx

[sqboyz23]

@ExtremeHerps erm hi do u need a cover for the garter snake?

[ExtremeHerps]

@sqboyz23 what do you mean by a cover like of you mean a lid for the cage then yes

[LanceLange]

@ExtremeHerps Totally, they are escape artists. lol Nice setup BTW. 10ish years ago I had 3 garters, 2 big and 1 small. They were so cool. When I put my hand in the tank they would rise up and wrap around my arm. Man did they like worms. Best part, one day I noticed movement in the substrate, there was like 8 babies. :D

[panzercore98]

nice set up and nice snake

[TheLaxlaxlax]

im gonna fed that to my king as soon as i get one hahah jk

[maxx8501]

Thanks! :D

[maxx8501]

Hey. What kind of pet store can I get a garter snake? cause I have the cage and everything ready for it

[totallybananafied]

@maxx8501 sadly they're usually not at pet stores, try ordering one online from a reputable breeder.

[dialga9812]

@maxx8501 i got a garter at petco for 20 bucks

[wargoddess77]

dont find goldfish they carry crap not good for them,other wise ..worms ,minnows and maybe feeder guppies ..mice good too but some people are all eeew about that

[halo2000100]

for the leaf looking thin, could you just take a bunch of leafs from outside instead of buying one?

[ExtremeHerps]

@halo2000100 Maybe but they will probly wilt after a little while

[halo2000100]

@ExtremeHerps thx for comenting so fast

[xXxGildartxXx]

how muchd u buy the snake

[ExtremeHerps]

@xXxGildartxXx $20

[xXxGildartxXx]

@ExtremeHerps how do i take care of it here in canada and its like spring now and its starting to get chilly

[ExtremeHerps]

@xXxGildartxXx what do you mean? you take care of it like you always would

[Infernalis1]

I'm sorry, I saw that after I watched all the way through.. I should have watched it all before I said anything.

[Infernalis1]

I don't know.. the title says garter snake care, but I see a snake being antagonized and dropped... No water dish, no hides??

[ExtremeHerps]

@Infernalis1 what do you mean? he has two hides and a water dish and the only reason i droped him is cause he was really jumpy

[xXTHExSiMPLExLiFEXx]

@ExtremeHerps hey i really liked this vid beginning to end i just got a question...im getting a ribbon snake they say they are in the same family of the garter snake but like the cool weather and tend to swim anyway im getting it online so i was wondering where u got the deal for $20 cause by me petsmart petco or any reptile store sells garters so that would help me save some money cause shipping on pets is expensive...

[ExtremeHerps]

@xXTHExSiMPLExLiFEXx yeh i think they are pretty much similar but ribbon snake seem to be smaller and skinnier than garters and i like garters better but i got mine at my local pet shop that is huge its called that fish place but i guess you could buy from petco with my expirience petco has done fine with leopard geckos but ive heard really bad reviews about garters from thier (that actualy where not garters) but if you buy your snake online they will put a heat pack in the box so itll stay warm

[xXTHExSiMPLExLiFEXx]

@ExtremeHerps allrightyy thanx man...ill stick to not to my guts and not buying anything from petco or petsmart live lolz but yeh ill let u know when i get my ribbon snake

[1megaGAGA]

can the tank be smaller?

[reptilesandhorses101]

Where did u get them?

[ExtremeHerps]

@reptilesandhorses101 i got him at my local petstore

[reptilesandhorses101]

@ExtremeHerps Arent most wild caught though? Anyway i love your snake!

[reptilesandhorses101]

@ExtremeHerps also my friend has one she caught it from the wild.

[mckreggen]

My garters are literally 2 weeks old, and they're VERY lazy, thats normal. right?

[ExtremeHerps]

@mckreggen idk... do they have enough heat and are they eating normaly?

[leopardgeck076]

[ExtremeHerps]

@leopardgeck076 a 10 gallon

[readthisandsmile1]

[xStaticStacia]

Are there any garter snake care videos that weren't filmed by a 12 year old..?

[gamer4life513]

[ExtremeHerps]

@gamer4life513 take a cotton swab and whipe the blood away then put some neosporen stuff on it or something thats like it

[gamer4life513]
