Re: Keeping garter snakes together?
Because I have talked with experienced keepers that have no such troubles. I have seen first hand how it makes a very nervous male infernalis feel much more calm and comfortable. I have never had a single case of aggression with my two, due to the very simple rules I laid out before. Have you personally experienced any aggression between cohabitated garter snakes? Illness comes from sanitary practices not cohabitation. If I have two healthy snakes living together where exactly do you think they would get sick from? I will give you a hint, it is not each other. As you know you must always practice quarantine. There is a lake with in walking distance of my house, in urban Denver where multiple garter snakes can be found in close proximity. Colorado is not known for large populations of snakes so I doubt this is out of the norm. Where are you doing this reading? Until you find any post where Wayne explicitly says such, maybe you shouldn't represent his opinions. In your example he says he still cohabitates.
