Hello forum members,

I thought I would post a pic of the garter that was rescued from my boss' cellar. He/she is very amusing and always hungry. It took him awhile to get the idea with the pieces of fish I finally got him to eat. He was trapped in the cellar since at least October as best we can tell. He could barely move when I got him and he was extremely thin. Now he is an eating machine eating everything from salmon to pinkies coming up and taking them off the tongs. I am fight the urge to keep it!
Here are some updated pics. The pics aren't that great and it does not capture how bad he looked but now he's healthy and very active.
