Wow nice looking garters ya found, of all the walks i have taken since its been nice i think i might have heard a single snake, not sure what kind, but the dead grass was so close to the ground i don't know what else it could have been.

thnx :) caught some more yesterday and a gorgeous dekay. let most of the go. kept the baby garter and the big (male?) looks male but i tried not to handle him too long and stres him yet. finny thing is ive had captive bred and all were picky eaters from the start and always hid. these guys just hang out and chill onthe leaves big one is starting to shed and has been soaking in his water. i added a bunch of wet sphagnum moss to keep the humidity up. but its nice to see the wild caught ones just out and about. they piss on me but have yet to musk.

Shoot us an underside tail photo of the big one. Usually, the word "big" means female in the garter world.
Keep in mind that this is prime breeding time for them. ;)

i know big means female. but i looked my best (thru some tough squirming) ans thought it was a male. but ill definately get some pics tonight for you guys. im hoping to find large male and female pair. id like to breed them, keep one or two babies and then release the other ones. im just trying to help repopulate. i live in the ghetto and its a small plot of land with garters and dekays. only place to find snakes near me. but we get alot of punk kids that catch them and whipe them around and hurt them, breaks my heart. i just want those garters to repopulate the best they can! if anyone texts you guys can text me. 401-829-3589 just tell me who u r. or to my direct email ajherman87@hotmail.com

There's some truth to that. i guess my garters don't want to leave. Accidentally left an enclosure open recently with 3 of them in it and i was gone all day. nobody got out. I come home finding it wide open and 3 garters basking under their lamp looking at me like "when's dinner?" lol
