Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
Yeah, Crappies, not Crap ees.  What you are describing Shaun are floaters and typically inhabit the porcelain pond in your bathroom. 
As always great pics Wayne! I love your beautiful Garters, I wish I could see those colors in the wild.....

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
Some new shots of a few babies from today.
Right after I took this, I moved the little one to a wet shed box to help it along.
Taken right after the shed finished.
The het sibling started to shed about 15 minutes later.
Look at that face, can you guess who the daddy is?
When this snake gets older, it's nose is going to look awesome.
A sibling, notice the coloration is not quite the same.
The snow is due to shed next, it was "blue phase" yesterday, will probably shed tonight.
I must admit, working with these babies has been rewarding.

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
Wayne, I should have kept up with this thread, it would have answered the question I asked you about shedding frequency in your collection!
Great looking snakes! You are doing a wonderful job at creating demand for garter snakes, at least in my house....they are so cute!
The solid black one sort of looks like an Indigo (my dream snake), if you use your imagination!

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
A small male or two will thrive in a ten gallon, and would be in heaven in a 15 gallon.
Females on the other hand, I keep in 20 longs or larger.
As a general rule, females are more laid back and tolerate handling really well.
Males on the other hand make great display critters, they are hyper active all day long, but flip out frequently when touched.
The species actually does well housed in multiples. But one must be very careful if 2 snakes of opposite gender are housed together, they WILL make babies.
This photo was taken in the wild.. I see a flash of red in the middle...

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
dug up some more pictures, enjoy....
These two were clutch mates.
The very rare "Silver Morph" Sirtalis, This is one weird Gene, only males display the trait, and out of an entire litter only 2-3 are born silver, and all the silvers are born about 1/2 the size of the rest of the clutch. (Like the morph only shows up in male runts)
This shot illustrates the size difference of males and females. She had just ovulated, and he rode around on her back for days! Got a sweet litter of orange babies from that pairing.

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
Oh wow, that red one is beautiful~ Also love yours snows c:
And wow, she's like a monster to him! xD Never realized just how 'big' the size difference was between males and females. Just knew females were bigger.
