Southern Garter Noodles

Requirements Breed: Spiral Genes: Poison/Toxin/Contour Colors: Storm/storm/blue range

It is unknown when these spirals were actually discovered, but at the time, they were actually pretty plentiful, seeming to share characteristics to a native snake species in the Mire. However, with the constant exploration and rare expansion into the mire, these spirals where forced to flee and some were even forced to change genes-breeds and such to adapt to life outside the mire. So it is very rare to see these spirals in the mire now, however, they have been seen in other areas as well besides the mire.

They tend to be very shy spirals, sleeping in high branches and acting different to other spirals, thus are not actively accepted by "normal" spirals. However, these spirals can also seem sociable at times too once they've gotten to know others and often times their first friends are mirrors surprisingly due to the way these spirals hunt as it interests mirrors. The second dragon they make friends fast with are nocturnes obviously due to their copy cat like natures, however, other spirals don't often become friends with these ones.

Habits
Primarily active during daylight.
A good swimmer.
This species is capable of activity at lower temperatures than other species of spirals.

Defense
Often escapes into water when threatened. When first handled, they often releases cloacal contents and musk, and strikes.

Diet and Feeding
Eats a wide variety of prey, including amphibians and their larvae (the heartred croaker, is a main food source), fish, birds, and their eggs, small mammals, reptiles, earthworms, slugs, and leeches. This snake is able to eat adult newts that are extremely poisonous to most predators.

Mating occurs between early spring to mid summer, allowing hatchlings to arrive from mid spring to late summer and at rare times during warm fall periods where they're slight hibernative state is disrupted.

Mates also tend to wear mating items to show their commitment to each other, be it matching scarves, sweaters, coats, or even matching rings. Committed Garter Spirals never take these items off unless absolutely necessary. This is mainly to let other dragons and garters know that they are taken and not looking for another mate at the time. When one garter passes away, the surviving garter often times either digs a hole and places their matching object in it to mark where they will be buried, or hang the matching item in their lair to remind them of their past mate and the good times they had.
When leaving each other such as no longer wanting to be mates, the males exchange their matching items with the new dragon that is to be the females new mate, so to keep them matching at all times, this shows females have a slightly higher priority then males.
