    How to figure out the price for shipping?

    im going to be sending three black neck garters to a friend and dont know how to determine the price of shipping. i know that it depends on weight but i remember this thing where you enter the zip code of yourself and then of the receiver and it would tell you the shipping cost.

    Forcefeeding a T.???

    Yea dont try to force feed. No matter what. If you try it would stress her out wickedly and pos a problem even bigger if you want to mate them. Leave her be and and try to feed her twice or three times a week. And dont try to mate them untill she has fed enough and is getting fat.

    Thamnophis atratus zaxanthus

    Is this species of garter snake semi-aquatic? I have one that seemed to enjoy being in its water dish. Also does anyone know a good guide to garter snakes in US? Because i have seen ones for spiders, centipedes lizards and birds, Just cant find one for snakes.

    Are they testing lid strength to escape or is there another theory?

    Wow! That was amazing. I have seen other spiders do that before. My Grammostola Rosea is all for that trick. I will see if i can record it and show you guys. It will put a stick in between the lid and the terranium so that it can squeeze out.
