Our New Garter Snake has No Tail!

- We recently took in a rescued garter snake that was attacked by a predator of some sort. When he arrived in the mail, most of his tail was missing and his vertebrae actually stuck out of his body! After several months of care though, he's all healed up and a part of our zoo!

Since the last garter was named Twiggy I think it would be a sweet tribute if you named the new snake Stump. Then they're both tree themed.
stump also works because of the tail! or stumpy!
Nearly tailess stumpy ;0;
Stumpy Stewart
YES HIS NAME SHOULD BE STUMPY
I said to do woody lol
The whole time I was watching I kept thinking Achilles would be a great name for him, considering his attacker got him in what would be his "heel." But he's a true hero by being unfazed and continuing to be a rambunctious little adventurer!!
I get why you put heel in quotation marks but that name fits better than you think since the term Achilles heel means a very vulnerable spot or flaw that can absolutely destroy a person AKA a snake losing a tail
Achilles would be a really good name imo
Actually I totally agree
i love that name for him
Yes, I said mine, but this is very fitting!
As a tribute to Nearly Headless Nick, you should name him Nearly Tailless Tim.
I love this!
NTT for short.
There are those who call me... Tim
That is perfect! I was thinking of something to go with nearly tailess.
That’s a good name
“Snakes break their ribs more often than you think.” Honestly, they don’t have much else to break.
Damn that's funny!
My uncle gave me part of a snake skeleton and I showed my mom and she's all "what part of the skeleton is that??" And I'm like "the whole thing..." It's just spine and ribs
🤣truth
Better a rib than a vertebrae
True
Sawyer called him angry snake while we had him. Was very scared/ angry snake for good reason. That name doesn't fit anymore. Glad to hear he's all better and thank you for helping.
Thanks for saving this little guy!
Thank you so much for giving this lil guy a chance, without you guys as an intermediate home, he may not have thrived the way he has with Emily and Ed :)
Thanks for saving the little fella!
You guys are such amazing people for helping him out. Also, just a question; do you have any guesses what predator could've attacked him by the common predators in your area?
Thanks for saving this little snec
Honestly this boy could be such a good ambassador to children to show resilience and adaptation after a huge injury like that.
I very much agree
I love that
same with nearly headless nick. i wonder if they would've been buddies.
Totally right. Any exposure to differences, be they limb difference or a not entire head (RIP NH Nick) are vital in kids learning and understanding compassion to all creatures, even humans!
@@jillibean2116 well said
Oh oh as for names, Gobber like from how to train your dragon? He's HUGE, he's missing half his limbs (the new snek is missing half of his only limb!), he's SUPER personable AND he's voiced by Craig Ferguson so you'd be able to hear all his interior monologue voiced by Craig Ferguson. (Also, animated movie character name for the program kiddos)
Omg I love httyd I'm seeing so many comments about it whoa my childhood
That seems like the perfect name!!
I wish I could upvote this more than once, I love this
Heck yes!
Wonderful name !!
I'm so glad his tail healed over this tail bones. I was afraid he'd have to go to the vet to get it fixed. Most animals would need stitches to fix it. So amazing.
I think naming them Sargent Stubby after the war hero dog, since his tail is stubby and why not make it even more interesting with the “Sargent”
Love it!!!!
I like you
I like it.
That is a good name idea
That sounds like an adorable name for him!
It’s so sweet of Emily to care for handicapped snakes! RIP Twiggy and Nearly Headless Nick ❤️
Rip
I’m sad Twiggy left as well
RIP the good Boi, Twiggy will be missed

Finally a comment about Twiggy.Rest In Peace
So sorry about Twiggy! You got a lot of good years with her though and see seemed to have been an exceptional individual.
May Twiggy Rest In Pease🤧😢🙏
@@helencollin4660 peace
❤Twiggy rest in peace❤
@@datgaydangernoodle1315Thank you for not minding your own business
😏
@@helencollin4660 what?
I see we've moved from the head (Mad No Eye Moody and of course Nearly Headless Nick) to the tail.
I suggest Longbottom - since he doesn't have one. And it would keep with the Harry Potter theme.
No no no! Shortbottom!
@J Thanks. I think. :)
I love it. It’s so cute!
I agree, Longbottom is a great name.
neville longbottom
Can we just take a moment to appreciate this rescue, Emily, and Ed. Some people wouldn’t take in even a slightly wounded animal, and here they are, taking in a snake missing almost an entire tail.
Yeah
I completely agree, Emily and Ed are the perfect people to take in a hurt animal.
I would have took in the wounded garter snake I found but it actually looked like it was healing up pretty well from whatever had happened to it. It had a bunch of places where it was actually missing scales but otherwise seemed healthy and had plenty of weight on it. It was the sweetest garter snake I have ever held but that was probably because it was coldish out.
They are awsome human beings for rescuing this snake.
To be fair depends on the animal becuase some people also don't have money for that and taking it in could be worse, however Emily and Ed are good people!
As a successor to Twiggy, Stumpy makes sense. Or Zippy. Because they're very zippy.
Or Stubby or Nubby.
Stumpy makes the most sense, and very on brand for the descendant of Twiggy
Stumpy is amazing. Double pun!
Zippy is my dogs name
I was thinking Nubbty since Emily kept calling the tail a nub.
When you said losing their tail was like an equivalent of a human losing a limb, it reminded me of my uncle who's lost a leg. He named his "Stumpy", so that's the name I'd suggest haha
You have changed my daughter’s life! She has always had a snake 🐍 phobia since a toddler, she would cry at the sight of snakes on tv. she’s 7 watches your channel every am before school and now wants a pet snake lol. You have shown her that snakes are beautiful creatures, nothing to be afraid of! Thank you for helping my daughter get over her phobia, it was so heart breaking seeing her panic..
Really love this Garter Snake. He is such a trooper in spite of his awful injury. Nice snake deserving of the care he was given.
I know
Mhm
@allyplays did you 4 Fish die
Ooo Trooper is a great name!
Poor guy
Name suggestion: Eeyore (from Winnie the Pooh) Because he always loses his tail 😁 im sure the kids would love it, too! 🤗
So cute! And Eeyore loves ALL his friends, but is often found alone at first.
That is absolutely brilliant, they should SO go with Eeyore 😁
Yes!!
That is hilarious AND adorable
The kids would love it!
I'm sorry to hear about the passing of Twiggy. The lil noodle lived a good life. Hoping your new rescue lives a good life in your care.
R.I.P Twiggy
I think you should add some Axolotls to the zoo! It would be a great addition, while also making the guests happy!
Auryn... after the medallion in the Neverending Story that features two snakes eating each other's tails and is a symbol of rebirth, transformation, the cyclical nature of all things, and the intertwining of light and dark... (it is a take on the Oroboros/Uroboros, but with some further layers of symbolism relevant to the story).
I second that idea. Auryn would be a great name! Neverending Story is one of my favorite books and movies!
Bump! I love this idea :)
This is my favorite, so far, even over my own suggestion. "Auryn" is an amazing name.
There's a rescue Manatee at Columbus Zoo who's missing a lot of her tail. Her name is either Stumpy or Stubby (you get different answers depending on who you ask) but I think either name would fit this guy as well
Have you heard that the Columbus zoo lost it's accreditation?! Last I heard they have to rehome all the animals!
I love that ol manatee! Been my favorite since I was a very little kid
And yes their removal of accreditation is being appealed right now but you know less than 10% of zoos and aquariums here are accredited by the AZA to begin with, it just means they've gone from very exceptional to less exceptional but they can remain open... there's really no changes for visitors
@@ariwoodward good to know. I love that zoo and plan on visiting again soon. But 1st, i must make my way to snake discovery.
I was also thinking Stubby
I watched a show about it(love the name)
How about Nubbins? Due to his tail being a nub now (also, I'm a bit of a horror fan lol)
Plus it isn't a gendered name which is good since they can't tell which it is! I like it!
Noob
I love the name too
I thought Nubbins too! 💜
I don't know how I went a year without seeing this, but I love Garters so much. Thank you for helping this little guy into a great healthy new home!
Call him Nearly tail-less Ted! As an homage to Nearly headless Nick ❤️❤️❤️
That’s great name 🤩
Yesssssss
I was thinking the same thing!!!
I was thinking the same thing
Yes do it!
"Stubby" would be a cute nickname, but I'm really like "Nearly Tailless Tim" everyone's suggesting :3
I litterally Thought of the same Name, Stubby, if you scroll up a bit you'll see my comment XD
@Karen Brown that's a pretty cute name too :3
@@YukiTheCat15 oh cool!! great minds think alike!! x3
One of my pigions names is stuby cos he lost his toe when i got him
Tailless
How about Ouroboros? It's the alchemical symbol that shows a snake eating its own tail.
Nubbs would be a perfect name! He reminds me of a female garter that lived in my garden at an old house, her name was stubby and she loved coming out for sun when i was working in the veggie beds.
I had one like that too, his name was Fabio and he’d sun himself very summer day at 3 in the afternoon on the dot😂
Yeah, there's definitely a difference in the way mammals, especially humans, handle pain vs reptiles and say, bony fish/sharks. I'm sure they're all just as AWARE of injuries, but humans have a much more adverse reaction to large injuries. In a swordfight, if you get stabbed, shot with arrows, sliced to ribbons in other ways, you might not necessarily take damage that in and of itself would be fatal. But, the pain of it can be incapacitating once you feel it through the adrenaline, and the stress of that panic on your heart, as well as the mental comprehension of "those are my insides sticking out" egging that panic on... yeah, that's gonna kill you from stress.
Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure that while reptiles have a strong sense of self-preservation, as most animals do, I don't think that pain affects them in the same way on a psychological level. Certainly they feel that something has gone wrong, and must be aware of the injury in some way, but I don't think it hurts as much. I don't mean that they don't feel as much pain, or that things are less painful to them, but I don't think it hurts as much. What I mean by that is, there's a difference between stubbing your toe and going "okay, I just stubbed my toe. Ow." and stubbing your toe the exact same way and going "aaaahhhhhh!" and hopping around on one foot clutching your mildly contused digit.
I think a lot of the difference in how they react to injury has to do with differences in the circulatory system, and the fact that many reptiles can autautomize(sp) parts of themselves.
Also perhaps because most reptiles are also a prey species, and prey species tend to hide injury/pain very well to avoid being singled out/hunted. Birds, mice, etc are like this also.
Wait I thought sharks didn’t have bones
Good point, maybe it's because we evolved to show pain? We benefit from pain displays because we're social animals, we can solicit help when we are injured. But even if a snake is in pain, there is no need for it to make a display of it, because there are no other snakes around to help it.
Conversely, we're also very good at detecting pain in other people (because it helps with the fitness of our tribe) but not necessarily animals. So there might be some anthropic bias in there. Maybe rabbits also think other rabbits show it loud and clear when they're in pain, but humans ignore their pain for some reason.
@@danielday8374 cartilaginous, then
I've watched others freak out over stubbed toes and hop around, tear up and make a big to-do over it, while I've cracked my pinky toes multiple times, winced and sometimes swore a blue streak, but otherwise just got on with it. Many mammals have social networks--a cry of pain will bring the herd/troupe/pack down on whatever is harming that individual. I'm the "reptile". I'm outside the social network. Stub my toe all the live long day, no one would come. LOL I'm kidding--I'm just weird in that I don't freak like other folks do when I stub my toe. Dunno why. ;-p Reptiles don't tend to live in social groups and don't help each other out. The only species-type that I know of that might respond to a cry for help would be the crocodilians and the peeping of their adorable babies. Seriously, have you **seen** them? So fuggin' CUTE. The mothers protect their young for well over a year.
Until you get into the monitors, boas and large venomous snakes, most reptiles tend to be smaller prey animals. They **have** to hide their pain and gtfo of an area fast, or hide really well if they're hurt, so they just deal with their pain in ways we aren't generally likely to because it makes them vulnerable to predators, otherwise. That, and they're just damned **tough** little guys. :-) There's probably some vascular changes involved, too, but I don't know enough about the anatomy to be able to say just what it is their bodies do that keeps them from going into shock when they sustain a serious injury. Like I said, they hella tough.
As someone else said, as a tribute to Nearly Headless Nick he should be named Nearly Tailless Tim. (Not my idea I just took theirs and commented so more ppl can see)
You should name him Nearly tailless Tim in honor of Nearly Headless Nick
That was suggested four hours before yours too.
awwww!
@@amandastakeonit7402 ppl suggest the same names no biggy
I think this is copied
Stolen
I personally love the "food containers" from restaurants I use them to make humid hides since they are easy to cut and with a soldering iron you can melt around the hole to make a smooth surface. It's weird that the cheap thin plastic is what I search for with my disposable hides. I have never thrown any away, but I like the option if they get moldy or stinky.
I would name him Bob cuz he has a bobtail, or Stubs, for obvious reasons. He's so pretty!
Down here in Australia, it’s perfectly normal to pronounce betadine “Better-deen”, so not to worry, Emily, you’re in good company! (You can always claim you got it from your list of Strine slang you picked up during the facilities build…)
*gasp* the perfect excuse!!
I’m a Aussie
@J it don’t matter mate
@@SnakeDiscovery I love you and Ed
“Wonder what attacked you?” Probably a tire attached to a giant vehicle.
Name them Asphalt, because the single yellow line on their back looks like what you see on the road.
omg yess
I was traveling and saw a dead garter snake on the side of the road, I’ve never seen a wild one but I could tell it was a garter snake
I really like that name!
Tis but a scratch
I run over garters all the time it’s sad
I think that you should name him Scout after my daughter! She is missing a leg and is a huge fan, it would mean a lot to me and to her! She has amniotic band syndrome!
I love this! Scout is also a unisex name, so that would fit either way. He/she loves to explore so Scout would be a great choice! Sounds perfect 😘😘
Oh that would actually be super wholesome! Goodluck winning the name contest :)
I missread this as *SHE IS A MISSING LEG*😂
@@G0LDENPAWZZZ I think you should find their body 😂 if you just have a leg, I think you should find the body
BUMP
He spooky with his little skele-tail! Tis the season. In all seriousness thank you for rescuing and caring for reptiles. Without this channel I would still be scared or disgusted by snakes.
You mentioned that snakes need their tails for balance, he seems to slither fine, but does he struggle climbing or anything?
I read that the tail helps with preventing blood pooling in the rear end while climbing. Would be interesting to know if that is affecting him
They said the same thing about my cat, loosing his tail did nothing to him
@@diekje8728 they adapt. Tails on cat are useful for controlled falling. Helps them get on their feet if falling back first. There also space cat videos showing them spinning around using tail.
@@diekje8728 my kittens tail fell off when he was born it was weird but doeent effect him
@@diekje8728 I guess he probably learnt to live with it as his tail fell off when he was only a few weeks
Edit: I cant spell
Why not name him Hiccup? You know, 'cause Hiccup lost a foot due to a dragon. And the snaky snek lost part of his tail because of a predator and stuff
Or Toothless because he is missing part of his tail. It would be crazy cool if they were able to make him a prosthetic tail tip.
@@SomethingBasicc that would be so cool
Love that :D
I love this idea! :D
The bewilder beast. So bewildered by becoming a snake in captivity with other captive snakes
Nice to see he made friends.
Snake: gets a literal limp ripped of
Also snake: ‘tis but a scratch
That's a good one
It’s just a mere flesh wound!
There are some who should call him… Tim…
I’ve had worse.
@@horsegirlranc4357 I’m guessing it was a horse related injury?
For a name how about Jack Skellington? It’s a nod to how he arrived to you, and it’s Halloween Season 💁🏻♀️
That's a great name!
I like Felix.. Latin for "luck" with the obvious literary nod to nearly headless nick
I liked this but I am biased cos one of my sons is a Felix😁
**Twiggy in heaven**
Popeye: Hey, Twiggs! Long time no see, how is mom and dad doing?
Twiggy: Oh their GREAT, they nearly finished the facility!
Nearly headless nick: Hello fellow garter! I hope mom and dad isn't too sad that you're not there with them anymore.
Twiggy: Oh they got a new garter with an injury, just like you! She/He doesn't have a tail anymore.
Nearly headless nick: Oh, They NEED to name her/him after me!
You could just use they/them if your don’t know what pronouns to use.
@@zen_was_here until the snake's sex is revealed, my enby brain is just gonna refer to them as enby until then 😆
I think nubbins is an adorable name. Question: will he/she be included in future breeding projects?
Considering they mentioned he had potentially lost his hemipenes and is generally Injured I doubt it, he would be an awesome programme animal though!!
@@uwubastard414 I think Emily said it is supposed to be a program animal.
I don't think that he/she would be capable of breeding due to the injuries the poor snake has sustained.
@@uwubastard414, That's ACTUALLY NOT what was said. She said if it's a male the tip of one of (I will suggest both could be) damaged or amputated, that does not equate lost or unable to breed. The only way to prove "him" out is to put him alone with known females and go through a few breeding cycles (because snakes can and often do hold sperm from previous encounters). Or they need a young female that has never been with a male, paired off with just "him" and see if she ends up having babies, but even adult fertile females reject males, so that could take awhile too. They did find out that one of their garters was a male because they thought they had all females together and many ended up gravid.
@@peggedyourdad9560, she did, but she did breed several of her program animals as well. They went off to "work", and would come home to a normal life ;) haha
Name him Trooper, he's been staying strong despite his injury, so he's been a real trooper :)
Super Trooper 🥰🥰🥰
I agree
Glad hes doing well. Poor dude went to the perfect place to heal. When do we get to meet those survivors of the house fire you saved and how is your special needs turtle. Is he still at the house or moving to the facility?
That house fire was for ever ago
And the turtles are fine but they did lose a stink pot turtle
@@bevandarke2300true. I remember resently Emily said somthing about the snakes they took in after a friends house fire and when they would introduce them to us. Just curiosity getting to me they got to be doing awsome with Emily and Ed.
I have quite a few suggestions: Zelig meaning miracle, Amos meaning brave, Agnar meaning warrior, and of course the names everyone has suggested; Stubby, stump or nearly tailless Nick. also i really love your videos, they are so educational! I would really love to see the new zoo now it's open!
also i meant nearly tailless Tim
You should name him Eeyore since he’s always losing his tail!
That's cute! 😂
The disney kid in me is so happy with this suggestion
name idea: "Stubby" Edit: no I totally agree with someone below, Nearly Tailless Tim rocks!!! Second Edit: RIP Twiggy :( your legacy lives on in your children and grandchildren
Life from his perspective is vibing in the woods having a scary animal get him but he somehow gets away. Then a giant pink thing gets him out a box and the pink thing is friendly. Now his life is infinite warmth food and pets.
I am so happy you posted this video, it could not of come at a better time. A few days ago one of my snake's tail got damaged and fell off, and looked like this. This gives me hope that he can make a good recovery
Emily: "It'd be really cool to see what she looks like one the inside..."
Me: ... O_o
Emily: "... or rather what her tail looks like on the inside"
Me: *wipes sweat off brow* phew...
Iside?
@@Angelaxo93 ah goddamnit a typo... now I'll have to edit it
The best place for this garter who was previously in the wild, is in this wonderful naturalistic enclosure with a bunch of friends 🥺 he’ll never go hungry or be lonely, and will never get hurt again ❤️
Love you guys and all your marvellous animals 🥰
You could go with Halftail, like a character from the Warrior Cats book series.
YES! Wow that brings me back to the first series!
I'm a huge fan of those books too I was actually really happy to see the reference.
@@grumpycroissant1447 Right? I can't believe how long the Warriors series has been going!
Flame and him are SO CUTE TOGETHER!
Stripe, Gold,Nub all da ideas I got!
Peter-No-Tail. It's a main character in a childrens book. Little cat without a tail.
So happy the snake is healing up well. Seems to have a great personality as well!
Love his personality!!! Awesome seeing snakes that aren’t timid and prone to hiding. He’s adventurous and loving life!
I've got a family of garter snakes living in the front garden wall and one has a nub tail like this guy! Glad to see that a tailless snake can still find happiness!!
Twiggy...she was one of the OGs of the channel 😭
She is definitely resting in peace ☺️
Yeah😭😭😭😭
I bet that Nearly Headless Nick is sending you hurt snakes cus he knows you will take as good of care of them as you did for Nick. Also I a name for him could be Gold Rush cuz one of that awesome gold stripe and two because he's always rushing to explore make friends. Love your work!
Always excited to meet any new rescue! 💚 Thank you for all the wonderful work you do!
Nearly headless nick is how I got hooked on this channel, and here you've got a Nearly tailess one!
When our cat lost her tail, we nicknamed her “Stumpy” because our family has a dark sense of humor
I call that being obvious, not a dark sense of humor....
What about we name him Nugget? Because he’s got a beautiful golden stripe, he’s an absolute treasure, and he’s got a little nugget of a tail :)
That is cute, but as a tribute to twiggy they should call him branch or something
I love that idea! So cute!
Good idea
I love that name as well!
I love the name Nugget!!!! 🐍🐍
Amp would be a cute name.. he is so adventurous exploring everything and I can just see him yelling for you to AMP IT UP! and as a fringe benefit he's also an AMPutee
Can't help but adore all of your beautiful garters! Glad this little dude got a second chance! ❤️
My mom was like: hOw dOeS a sNakE hAve nO tAiL? IT iS A tAiL
A snakeless tail kkk
My daughter chants "Stubby!" for a name.
Thanks for an awesome channel and congrats on the beautiful zoo! We live in Sweden so we can't really visit but following along here is such a treat!
I really like how you combine like 3 videos into one so we can see the progress right away and don't have to wait the 3 weeks and then wonder for 4 months how he's doing until the next video. The girl did the right thing sending it to you cause now he has some friends and is safe from preditors.
I love all the facts and such, (plus that flame is amazing), but the little comments are my favorite!
Aaaww, the snake is absolutely adorable and I'm glad he is doing okay ^^
As a name suggestion; Peter No-Tail
After one of my favorite book series about cat who has no tail~
You could call him Lucky. Not only did he survive an attack, but he found the best home imaginable to live the rest of his life.
You could name him Osprey, after the skywing dragon in book 1 who had a paralyzed tail. :)
YES
This fits so well, especially because Emily reads Wings of fire! I loved Osprey so much when he stood up for Peril and Kestrel. It will be kind of odd for people who don’t know Wings of fire why Emily named a snake after a bird.
@@jammingpython8986 yeah lol, but wait, osprey didn’t even have a tail did he?
@@mangos_1929 I checked the wiki and it just says he has a paralyzed tail, the graphic novel also shows him with a tail and without wings.
@@sky-the-artist2001 oh okay. Good to know =) Guess I should’ve paid more attention
I am new to reptiles and your channel but I just wanted to say I LOVE your caption edits I found them hilarious 🤣🤌
I love how active and adorable he is! I’m happy you took him in Emily!!!😄 You should name him trooper because of how he has been through so much but is still so positive and out going!
I think Peggy would be a good name for it! It is similar to Twiggy, so it kinda pays homage to her, but also Peggy could be short for Peg Leg, since you said losing a tail would be similar to a mammal losing a leg.
My mind also went to a peg leg, and I started thinkin ArRRobert the Dred Pirate snaaake?? lol, smh Peggy sounds more sensible!
I don't think Peggy would work for a boy though. I think they need a more neutral name.
Name Suggestion: Totally Tailless Ted, as a "nod" to Nearly Headless Nick
hell yes
yup we need that tailless ted xD
I was going to suggest nearly tailless Ned! As a nod as well!
I love that idea
Genius!!!
Interesting and fun, thanks. I keep track of dens and summer sites in my area and it's quite something how many gartersnakes of adult size have stub-tails, though most not that badly stubbed. Plains garters are so neat, such a robust species, one of the most heavy bodied garters. Their scales are more ruggedly keeled than sirtalis scales too, giving them a rougher skin texture - this is visible in photos, especially with a bit of backlighting.
You should make a video on morphs that have health problems
Wasn’t expecting to click on a video about to go live but I don’t mind the wait if it’s you guys (:
Same
Thats weird. Lol
Its because it was a premier! I dont think they do Premiers often but thats the only way one TH-camr I watch posts his. They act like lives counting down the last few minutes until the video is scheduled to start and it makes it so you can talk directly to others who are watching at the same time. Its pretty cool!
I'm 25 and yesterday I got my first snake (a ball python), after having dreamed of one for 15 years. I'm so happy
Poor little guy. I hope he recovered. He,s so cute
Name him Anky, like the dinosaur ankylosaurus, the one with a big bony club on the tail, plus they have super strong armor
Plus he is tough as nails like an ankylosaurus
thats cool!
No
Since he's making friends with everyone so nicely, what about Buddy as a name? Or a Nearly-Tailless T-name like most comments suggest!
Tim
I thought Buddy would be good also.
Could always go with JormungandThe snake that wraps around the world in Norse mythologyHe holds the ocean in by biting his own tail
I wanted them to name the anaconda this or apophis from Egyptian mythology
I found a wild snake with a tail i little gone but he or she was really nice didn't musk or anything AND EVEN HAD BABYS WITH A NOTHER SNAKE! ALL THE BABYS WERE SO CUTE!
My vote is we name him the bloody Baron, (Baron for short) after the ghost at Hogwarts. Keeping up the trend of naming injured garters after Hogwarts ghost. That or after Peeves the poltergeist XD
Nearly Tailless Nick!
Don’t think I’ve heard so many different pronunciations of 1 word in 2 minute period, betadeen, baetadeen, betadine, bitadeen. 🤷♀️
Do sneks actually cuddle up together or is it just them not really caring and bunching up in prime hiding spots? those cuddle noodles are adorable
Almost all snakes prefer to be by themselves, but garter snakes are an exception. They're quite social.
The colours on the other two omg lush!! ( the flame and other one sorry unsure of the names ) they’re all lovely colours though. Glad to see he’s fitted in well xx
How about Nubby Norman, or Nearly-Tailless Norbert in honor of Nearly-Headless Nick? Or if it turns out to be a female, Nearly-Tailless Nicki!
I like Norbert, could be shortened to NoButt. :P
We had a snek like that in my high school Environmental Science class for a while. Wild caught, so the missing chunk of tail wasn't surprising. Don't think she had a bone sticking out, but she was surprisingly chill after a couple days.
"No tail Ted'. That's the first thing that came to mind.
LOL great minds think alike! Through the whole video I was thinking they should call him Nearly tail-less Ted as a throwback to Nearly headless Nick!
I was thinking something similar as well. Maybe half a tail Harry
@@gretchentrumper9423 maybe no tail Tina if it's a girl
@@ferryntours1800 or Henrietta if it's a girl
Or maybe Harriet
Oh gosh you STILL help out injured animals after all the changes in your life? You're so cool.
You could name him toothless just like the dragon because he’s also missing part of his tail
Name suggestion: Buddy
("you're just buddies with everybody now" Emily 2021)
Aww
I was going to say the same thing. Yeah Buddy!
Buddy would work since he get's along very well with the other garters
There needs to be a Snake Discovery version of Pickle Rick that you hide in different places around the zoo.
Emily: "You're missing most of your tail!"
Me: "SNAKES ARE ALL BLOODY TAIL!!!"
