Chilly Charmers

Snow Dayz
Delayed travel and still chowing down “in the cold, cold city…”

Let's warm it up so these babies can catch their flights!

Food fight!
Another day saving lives.

Most people enjoy feeding their pets and watching them eat. A single garter in a tank is easy to serve. Put food in a bowl and check back later to make sure it’s been eaten. Not so fast in a group enclosure! Feeding can be frenzied, chaotic, and even downright dangerous.

You absolutely must supervise every minute that food is in the tank in a group enclosure. Inevitably, two snakes decide to share the same bite and a fight gets underway. When neither lets go, one can inadvertently swallow their tank mate, killing one or even both.

Here are a few examples that we filmed for learning purposes only. We quickly stepped in to separate the culprits. We recommend separating aggressive eaters and shy eaters into smaller groups. We also transition our babies to tong feeding, which helps keep everyone busy chewing their own bite. It also speeds up meal time.
