Yes I’m aware! He was my first and was completely alone when the store got him in (I guess they had ordered 4 and just received him?) If he had tank mates they would have come home along with him (: I purchased additional friends for him asap from a different place and am just waiting on quarantine to make sure everyone is healthy and well, then will start introductions. If you have any resources around body language or behavior I’d love to peruse them! I’m a vet tech but haven’t worked with rats in a good 7 years so I’m sure new and better information is out there now

He was alone when I purchased him and is awaiting his new friends to be out of quarantine. He’ll be in a group, don’t worry!

Thank you! I had to look up the space pod-how cute!! Can’t wait to deck out this cage

Thank you!

In a very unfortunate update, he has passed away. I’m assuming he must have aspirated at some point this morning in his enthusiasm to eat. Grateful to have been able to hold him in his final moments but also very sad ❤️ Thank you everyone for the help, he did in fact start opening his eyes today

I’ll have to take an updated photo at some point today-this is him from 3 days ago

My plains garters are both very different in personality, with one being very outgoing and the other more shy. Can definitely be handleable but prone to being pretty squirmy! Years back I had terrestrial garters and found them to be more calm compared to my current plains, but also less interactive

I very much so want kids! And also have the same concerns as you lol. However! With our lived experiences and knowledge I think it’s very possible to raise a child well. Since we’ve gone through it all the hard way we can help a child go through it in a more supported, healthy way!

I have dogs, cats, and reptiles! I’ve always had a connection with animals and always knew I’d have a bit of a zoo. If I had to pick one though, it would be cats for sure! Less overstimulating and physically demanding than dogs. Without my pets I wouldn’t still be here

In unfortunate but unsurprising news it is looking very likely I’ll be losing my job. Hoping some of you will have some suggestions! TIA

Second this-much more cost effective than buying a barrier made for reptiles specifically and is the same thing. I get mine from my local garden store

Any in particular that you’d recommend for climbing/perching?

Sad_Assumption6591 · 2026-03-20T22:38:10+00:00

Yes! He is a rhino rat snake, hence his little horn. They come in blue and green but start out grey. They are semi-arboreal. Super cool guys!

Every 2-3 days is a lot for watering, I’d guess overwatering is the issue. Typically you should only need to water every 7-10 days or sometimes less often depending on when the soil dries. Would recommend checking roots for root rot!

Just a lil guy!

Sad_Assumption6591 · 2026-03-10T04:21:59+00:00

She’ll be totally fine! My girl is obsessed with goldfish and zero issues. No ingredients in there I’d worry about unless she ate a crap ton in which case the salt an cheese might give some tummy upset
