New here

[Raptor]

Hey guys, A few of you may already know me from the urgent care section. I came here looking for help on raising my two little garters, and the people here were so nice and helpful that I decided to stick around!

My name is Dan, but my high school nickname was Raptor because I was good at drawing dinosaurs and such. I help breed exotic snakes with my friend in Lansing, but my first snakes were my two garters, Laurie and Tonya.

Well I like my snakes, My vidya games, and just hanging out! nice to meet you all!

The smaller one looks like a male. Can you get a picture of the under side of it's tail?

Welcome and nice to have you with us! Great pic! Reminds me of my female and male easterns together. Like Chantel said...you may want to post some underbelly shots so that we can confirm the sex of your snakes for you.

Here's a link to a thread that will show you how to sex your snakes or show you the type of photos to post so we can have a go at it.

Hello and welcome!
Lovely pair of garters- probably Easterns if you caught them in in the middle of Michigan.
I'm over on the east side, Between Detroit and Port Huron.
I have an Eastern I caught near Clarkston, a checkered I bought, and a slew of Butlers garters that I've picked up around my neigborhood.

Well I cant get a picture right now as I had to leave my snakes at home to go back to school in Cleveland. But next time I am home i'll definitely take a look at the small ones gender. and to Selkielass, I live in fowlerville, northwest of detroit. I caught The big one in the wild behind my house and the small one was a gift.
