Thought It was time to introduce Bonnie and Clyde!! I got them from Shawn Alexander and they've been eating and shedding like crazy!! They were sold to me as plains garters from high red parents. I'm really hoping they red up like their parents!!

Without further adue here is Bonnie and Clyde!

Awesome. Not sure how you feed them but I would be very careful of that substrate. Gravel/sand/stones can cause blockages and neonates are most susceptible to this. This type of substrate also doesn't absorb waste and smells. This makes feces easy to spread all over the enclosure which can cause scale infections among other things.
Just my opinion.

look's like he is using corn cob litter which is absorbent, but still don't need to be ingested.

Just my opinion.

it is a corncob substrate used for birds. Has 0 dust or chemicals thats why I chose it. It absorbed a lot of moisture and clumps really well. I feed outside of the enclosure atm as well

I think Steve might have thought it was aquarium gravel at first.

Ahh makes sense lol. I did a crap ton of research before I got them then did some comparisons for substrates so I could make the best choice lol
