surprise clutch update..

These guys are doing pretty good except for the runt who still doesn't want to take food. I guess like most runts , once he does, it will be off to the races. Fingers crossed. Top two photos are of the large scrub and the lower left is of the runt and the right is the 100% het granite checkered garter. Haven't sexed either of them yet. They all are granite checkered garters. Possibility of the two visuals being super granite checkered.

Very nice Garters. Garters are so under rated as a pet snake. I keep a few myself.

Thanks SSSSnakes, they are under rated. I always had a fascination with them.

Garter snakes usually hover around the 2 foot length approximately. Some may attain longer lengths but not much more. These guys are pastel checkereds that tend to be somewhat shorter and slender than say your Puget garter or your Plains garter. They also have smaller clutches than average garters. Of course , as in most species , females are larger.

^I agree. The first snake is stunning. I love the pattern and it's head. I like pythons, but if I was at a show and saw this snake I would take it home with me.

Actually the morph is pastel granite checkered .Both the parents are pastel 100% het for granite checkered. The runt has started taking food. He was coaxed into feeding by a live guppy about 3 days ago and hasn't stopped eating. Haha. They all popped as females. Have to triple check the sex when they get some size .

Re: surprise clutch update..

Very nice Garter, I would have not even think it was a Garter snake with that pattern! Question, do Garters feed on mice regularly or fish?
