Santa Cruz garter snakes...

[Thamnophis]

Yesterday the female (born 2007) gave birth to 12 beautiful young.
The male was born n 2005.

They all are very firm and lively (as always in this species), there were no death young and no slugs.

The female was moved to the women-terrarium and the both males to the males-terrarium.

Thanks... You all are right. T. atratus is a very fine species. Is a perfect "pet".
Most of the babies started eating after 3 days on small pieces of salmon.
