I though for sure he was going to die from that, but he recovered just fine. I never said I was trying to feed one to the other. I was simply trying to keep them together. They were found close by each other and have different habits and different prey preferences (at least that's what I thought at the time, but that garter is a definite mouse killer and even uses constriction which is not supposed to be characteristic of garters). I figured I could have them setup together. I learned pretty quick that that garter snake is one of the most bada$$ snakes I own. It is one of my favorite snakes for sure. Very active/alert and full of behavior. Its a melanistic (solid black with purple hew) thamnophis elegans, and its personality (or snakiality for Jeff) reminds me of a cobra. A very cool snake! ----- "Relax, Don't Worry, Have a Homebrew!" Charlie Papazian
