Some myths about Thamnophis dispelled

[infernalis]

As with any animal, bigger is better. I would insist on a minimum 20 long for two snakes.

and as with any reptile, be extra careful at feeding time, never introduce food and look away.

I feed my garters (that have roommates) in separate containers to prevent fights.

I double-checked the label again, and it's actually 106qt, so I got the two mixed up. The bigger one is upstairs, and I plan on trashing it if I can't find a new top, since the lid got busted up. So, the tub is roughly 26.5gal. Dimensions are: 27in long by 12in tall by 14in wide (taken at the lowest point of the tub so I get the actual ground coverage). She's working on switching them over to mouse pinkies. I believe she has them on pinkie parts and earthworms right now. So, they should be on f/t mice when I get them. I'll be sure to feed them separately. How long should I keep them separated before I re-introduce them?
