The cat cornered a garter snake about a week ago. We caught it and got a 20 gallon tank with a light and have been immensely entertained. My seven y/o daughter is really fired up, this will add to our collection of 3 lizards.
We feed him minnows that we drop into his water dish. It is becoming more comfortable with us and we were able to watch it feed this morning. Usually it is kinda shy about eating in front of us. I don't kill them unless they are poisonous, they are helpful in many ways.
