I figure you guys probably don't get many updates from all the people you've helped over the years so I try to check in every couple of years...
In 2002 my kids brought home a little wild caught western garter begging to keep it. First we almost cooked her with a heat lamp, then figured out she had mites and rubbed her down with olive oil every couple of days til they were clear, got bigger tank, UTH, got feeding down pat, etc. You guys helped all along the way and I'm happy to say 6 years later she's still alive and well... so what kind of life expectancy can we expect? She was caught in '02, likely born in '01, so 7 years old. She does still hybernate and I was afraid to check on her a couple of times this winter/spring, but she's doing great! Thanks again for all of your educated help with her way back when!!!
btw, if it matters, I really think she's a he at this point, but we've always called her she...
