The first young of this year are born...

[Thamnophis]

My female I bred in 2009 was placed in a terrarium with a male of 2006 after the brumation. Bith had not reproduced before.
Ten pretty young are the result. No slugs and no dead young.

Some of the babies.

Yeah, kinda jealous!

They get salmon every day now and at least a number of them is eating. Tried some smelt too, but that was not a success yet. Most probably because they ate all the salmon I offered the day before. next week I will not feed them for a few days and than offer smelt again.

Some pictures...

Great looking bunch! Hey is it me or does the dad have an injured eye?

[kibakiba]

Looks like a retained shed.

[Thamnophis]

Yes, I saw it on the picture. Had not seen it when I took it :)
Problem is solved now.

[katach]

I positively LOVE that pic of mom and dad!!

Amazing tetrataenia. So you can send 1.3 to Manitoba, Canada whenever you have a chance! Looks like I'm jealous again...
