My new Flame Eastern garters.
I know the pictures are terrible, I only have my camera phone. No zoom, no flash.
I got these little guys from "garterchick" on thamnophis.com
They're flame easterns, and they're already coloring up really well, way better than the pictures illustrate.
These are only my second (and third) baby snake, everything else I've acquired as a yearling. I was totally not prepared for how tiny they are.
As soon as I popped open the styrofoam box they were in, one bolted from it at speed and hid under my keyboard. I expected hours of chasing it around the house and crawling around on my knees, but I picked up my keyboard, put my hand down, and it crawled right in.
I'm building a 2/3 land, 1/3 water enclosure for them, but they're too small as yet to go in it. I'm going to maintain the water part as a guppy aquarium and see if I can raise snakes and food together!
No names yet, suggestions are welcome.
I don't know what gender they are, hopefully they're both male or both female *fingers crossed*.

Re: Flame Eastern garters.
They are from the exact same bloodlines as my deep red flame.
I got Masubius from Tina in 2008.
Congrats.
Although your 1/3 2/3 concept seems sound, Garters are little pigs and will consume guppies until they are gone.

Re: Flame Eastern garters.
I've had these guys about a week, and all I've got to say is "wow." They're not like any snake I've owned. They act more like mammals than reptiles. They're active all day long, constantly looking for food, and checking out their surroundings. They've grown noticeably in just a week, and they're already associating me with food.
I've got a new recommendation when people ask for a good beginner snake. Garters are amazing!

Re: Flame Eastern garters.
Nice looking snakes, your enclosure idea sounds sweet. I would love to see some pics when you are done and they are in there.

Re: Flame Eastern garters.
They won't be in there for a while. Right now, they're too small, they'll be able to squeeze out the screen top.

Re: My new Flame Eastern garters.
I don't know the gender on mine =/ I'm hoping they're both male, or both female so I don't end up with a litter of nascar fans in a couple of years.

Re: My new Flame Eastern garters.
Flames are great sellers, a litter of those equals cash in the bank.

Re: My new Flame Eastern garters.
These guys are such little piggies.
I put 20+ guppies in their water dish a few hours ago.
Now there are two very frightened guppies wondering where everybody went.
No luck getting them to take tilapia, or scented pinkies though, and they've started refusing worms, I think they've been holding out for guppies.
