Was that a baby mice?

[SAsgarters]

@NeoSonic64 Yes, it was.

I know where to find these in the wild... they're fun to catch and release. I couldn't beleive they were endangered. Still not telling where their secret pond is

[JrdSpr99]

i own an eastern tigerback garter and all it eats r mice,dirt,and worms:)

[ciyean]

No wonder it's endangered. It has issues eating because it is obviously concerned with it's weight.

[tnad5212]

Is your snake docile?

[SAsgarters]

@tnad5212 Not really. You have to walk on egg shells around it.

[Finalflash50]

Fuck. I wanted one of these.

[grazingthewasteland]

The joy of keeping one of these beauties is a good enough reason to leave America! ;-)

[SAsgarters]

@grazingthewasteland Hah. :D I guess if you lived in the right area, you'd actually find these in your back yard.

[grazingthewasteland]

@SAsgarters Actually I reside not too far from the locale of San Francisco Garters and the Santa Cruz. Guess I might stick around here for a little while.... ;-)

[heylookimfat]

That thing is gorgeous. Stunning colors!

[SAsgarters]

Thanks.

[RICHIEandFRIENDS]

how many inches is your garter snake? or do you use metric?

[SAsgarters]

I'd have to guess, but this one should be about 70-75 cm, or 27-29". I haven't measured it since last summer.

[RICHIEandFRIENDS]

thats pretty nice! right now my red sided garter is approaching 25 inches, still has growing to do though

[maarakailet1]

Wonderful set up. Did you make it yourself?

[SAsgarters]

Yeah, but the one in this video isn't that great.

[scjason420]

[lokgolo]

[SAsgarters]

Finland.

[MikeTheHerper]

San Francisco garters are beautiful snakes. Such a shame they're endangered.

[despeleta]

i remember the first time i caught one, around '73. i knew it was a garter, but i had never seen one like that! went home and looked it up. stopped seeing them in the late eighties. i'm gonna try and photo one next spring...we'll see
