Mark, congrats on the garters, you plan on keeping all of them?

I hate to go off the garter snake subject, but I have an albino ringneck snake. She recently laid 5 good eggs after I had her for 5 years. She was caught in West Virginia, I'm gonna try and attach the image.

Very cool!

I grew up with garters too, first in Saskatchewan then as a teenager in Ontario. I don't remember any of them looking like the ones pictured though, it's amazing the how different garters can look.

I ended up accidently "breeding" some once when I left 3 of them together in an aquarium for a couple of months.

I obviously had no idea what I was doing with the adults let alone the babies but they all ate for me without hesitation. At the time I thought it was pretty cool to watch chaos ensue after dropping a flopping goldfish into a tank with 3 adults and 17 babies. lol! Pretty dumb, but we all stated that way.

I never thought to try mice with them either but all the garters I have ever had were very much like kings when it came to fish and worms, watch your fingers!.
