Just got my first pet snake, a garter snake, presumably one of several florida species. I have researched its complicated diet and its housing is top notch, yet simple, but i still have a few questions.
1) How long do most garter species typically live?
2) I heard olive oil can remove mites, if any. This true?
I already did a manual mite and "worm lump" check and i asked if it had been given regular checkups, the manager answering that that was the case. Its an otherwise healthy, 20 inch specimen, active, and no discharge around eyes and nose, no irregular breathing sounds.
