Huge gravid females

[infernalis]

We were mowing 14 acres of my back yard today and both of these lovely ladies were at risk of getting chopped up by the mower. So I gave them safe sanctuary until all mowing is complete.

I`m always so envious of people in other countries saying they`re going field herping or finding a beautiful snake in the wild! I used to love going looking for slow worms when I was a kid (a lizard that looks like a snake) but you just hardly ever see snakes over here, no fair! And gimme a strawberry. lol ;D

[Hillsberry]

Sweet! Wish I had strawberries growing in my yard! And the snakes are awesome!

[Lankyrob]

[infernalis]

There is some very dark babies in there. One is almost all black with no stripe at all down it's back.

Nice man. Cool so do u sell them to Pet shops or what

[infernalis]

I could never sell through pet shops, I prefer to place them myself.

Interested is a baby or two?

[shaunyboy]

if i was'nt stuck all the way over here i'd have took a few off your hands.

cant wait to see more pictures once the little un's have settled in.
cheers shaun

[C.Phillips]

I might would be but hows the keeping of garters compare to pythons??

[infernalis]

the viv and the mice are a lot smaller.

2-3 garters are happy in a 20 long tank.

separate at feeding time to prevent food fights and you can keep a few in just one tank.

[C.Phillips]

how big do they get usualy ?

[infernalis]

here is the mother who had the babies.

Garters are temperate, they're generally happy at room temperature (though an UTH will make them happier).

Wayne, I am interested in a couple of babies if you're selling. Wife's birthday is coming up in a month or so, she fawns all over my garters, and ones I was going to get her fell through (all still born and jellies).

[C.Phillips]

[percey39]

One deformed and died at birth, another died since birth.

[Nafun]

Lemme know when they're ready, and pick me out a couple good looking ones!

after they have had a few meals. That way I can figure out who the fussy eaters are and then pick yours from the robust feeders.
