Hi there:
I got a captive-bred adult male Florida blue garter tonight for only about $16, so okay, I did use a discount card! Anyway, he has 40-gallons of room. I know that many people disagree against mixing species, but I have never lost one snake or had one snake sick or injured doing it. It is in with two eastern ribbon snakes from Florida. Nothing else. The setup is naturalistic, with grapewood basking sites, sphagnum, pea gravel, live potted plants, a rock den cork and live bromeliads with an excellent background. He ate all of the rosies in the water pool, and even some dried up dead ones that had jumped out. I think I will feed him in a seperate container away from the ribbons.
He is very docile, striking, but not actually biting. He and the ribbon snakes seem to be getting along fine. He sure is a beautiful snake!
