Baby Pictures

[Elliot]

Well I'm pretty bored right now, so I thought that it'd be pretty cool if everyone would post the pictures of the baby snakes that they have gotten this year. If everyone helps out, we'll have hundreds of pictures! :D

[Ameivaboy]

Let's see,

OR red spot

[Elliot]

That last snake is beautiful! I like the Oregon red spots too.

[enigma200316]

yes I like!!!! whats the common name for the last one?

[adamanteus]

Great idea, Elliot. I'll photograph my babies in the next couple of days. Let's hope lots of members contribute to this one.

Actually, they'll be here soon after I get out of bed. I got early delivery. :D

[Elliot]

[Thamnophis]

Okay, three pics of my babies.

[Elliot]

Nice pictures! They're already very nicely colored.

[Lulu Bennett]

chicken hart??? eyww! lol
are you not nervous about feeding them all together?

[Josh]

i cant wait to post my pics tommorow i am recieveing 3 maritimes and three easterns!!!!!!!

[enigma200316]

thats kool.......how are you getting the easterns isn't illegeal in PA?

[Thamnophis]

chicken hart??? eyww! lol
are you not nervous about feeding them all together?

Yes, the hearts of chicken. I buy them in our supermarket. They sell them as catfood.
I already give chickenheart (amongst a lot of other things) to my Thamnophis?nerodia?natrix for more than 35 year.
Works well and never gave a problem. Ofcourse I dust the food with vitamins/minerals/calcium.

No I am not nervous about that.
I put small pieces in the foodbowl. That small that they hardly can take it away from eachother. Never a problem with that.

[Thamnophis]

thats kool.......how are you getting the easterns isn't illegeal in PA?

I wouldn't know that.
I do not live there.
I am Dutch and here, in the Netherlands, there is no law to forbid the keeping of gartersnakes.

[drache]

I know this thread is supposed to be pics
and I will certainly post later
but I just couldn't help posting appropriate song lyrics
(most of ours aren't pink though)

[drache]

thought you would, Fons
I was trying to find a sound file of it on the internet, but I guess they're not letting you have Frank's stuff for free
it would make such a great theme song for this time of the year

[adamanteus]

One of my new baby T. s. tetrataenia.

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//539/medium/tetra_2.jpg

[Stefan-A]

Beautiful colors. :)

[adamanteus]

They're so tiny, it's scary though! I can hardly pick them up!

[Stefan-A]

Oh you should see how tiny they are in my nightmares. :D About the size of 0.7 pencil lead. :p

How big is that tetra compared to a hatchling grass snake? Or, newborn garters compared to hatchling grass snakes.

[adamanteus]

Quite a bit smaller, Stefan. They seem really delicate compared with other baby Garters I've had. Less enthusiastic about feeding too, they don't gorge themselves like other babies.

[ssssnakeluvr]

here's my baby wandering garters....born yesterday!!!
http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//504/medium/wandering_babies.jpg

[Stefan-A]

Quite a bit smaller, Stefan. They seem really delicate compared with other baby Garters I've had. Less enthusiastic about feeding too, they don't gorge themselves like other babies.
I see. And the other babies?

I'm only familiar with the sizes of newborn/newly hatched babies from two species; Adders and grass snakes, so that's why I'm asking.

[adamanteus]

The radix I got last week are a little bigger and more robust. They're eating like it's going out of fashion! And Esthers' concinnus eat everything they see....they look like little sausages tonight!

[chloe]

congratulations on the baby wonderings

[chloe]

opps spelt that wrong meant wanderings. I tried to breed mine this year but nothings happened yet!

[Gijs & Sabine]

I've already post most of our newborn babies. But here are just some of them, I don't put all of them down here :D

T.s.tetrataenia
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q85/gijssabine/P1010239Small.jpg

T.s.infernalis
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q85/gijssabine/P1010246Small.jpg

T.s.sirtalis melanistic and het. for melanistic
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q85/gijssabine/P1010226Small-1.jpg

[Elliot]

I love the melanistic sirtalis. :D

[Lulu Bennett]

Gijs, Sabine, James... how the hell do you get your tetras to curl up on your hand??? they have slid into my hand but the min i lift it u to take a pic then thats it they are off like lightening lol. drives me bloody crazy :mad:

[enigma200316]

I love the melinistic as well and they are on my list...............
I read some where that they accur in the wild here in PA some where!!!!!

[drache]

here's one f our newborns

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1379/1001804737_70079a8c48_b.jpg (http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1379/1001804737_70079a8c48_b.jpg)

I can get them to curl up in my hand, but not in Mikhaila's

[Thamnophis]

Rhea, that is a huge baby!!!

[drache]

it's Mikhaila's hand
but yes they're pretty big
the one I measured was almost 8" (20cm)
that's the entire length though

[Gijs & Sabine]

Gijs, Sabine, James... how the hell do you get your tetras to curl up on your hand??? they have slid into my hand but the min i lift it u to take a pic then thats it they are off like lightening lol. drives me bloody crazy :mad:

Haha :D this is the trick, Lulu: lock your tetra baby up in one hand. For some reason they will become quite calm. Then open your hand slowly and start making pics with your other hand. This works very good for us with all our baby garters.

Good luck !!! I expect results anytime soon now ;)
But the pics you post here are very good already !!

[Lulu Bennett]

right well we will see if that works lol and if it does then will defo post pics thanks sweety xxx :D

[Lulu Bennett]

wow it worked lol. they were always facing away from me though lol. i fed them today and they ate a worm each i will try them with a worm scented pinkie chopped in pieces too later lol YEY!!!! :D

[adamanteus]

Sjoerd...that's a lovely looking parietalis...even with the spider slough!

[enigma200316]

speaking of the Parietalis...the one in the contest thread, the amelinistic one that Zooplan posted... is that natrual, or a cross with another Thamnophis?????

oh yeah sorry Sjoerd very good looking snake.....

[reptileparadise]

Thats an amelanistic one, an albino

[enigma200316]

[Lulu Bennett]

[Stefan-A]

lol fair enough it was feb lol. can i just ask why dont you like them? the reason i like them so much both tetra and infernalis is the colours. such bold colurs.
That's really the reason I don't like them as much as many other garters. :) The colours.

[Lulu Bennett]

lol fair enough. cant argue with that i guess its just a matter of taste. lol.

[Stefan-A]

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/Snakes_028.jpg

[Lulu Bennett]

PMSL!!! that is a fantastic pic. i love it and it is sooooooo adorable lol

[enigma200316]

I agree, I think that is so kool and a bit funny too....:)

[Elliot]

Just thought I'd bump this up in case anyone else has some new babies or some nice pics.:)

[Tori]

Have to remember that I am not a great photo taker and these could have been a lot better.

Cali baby - She is soooo much like her mother, didn't think I would ever get her to sit still!

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/Cali_baby_1.jpg

This is her mom - yes I know she isn't a baby, but I wanted to her to compare to the baby. She turned 2 this year.

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/cali_mom_1.jpg


Puget Sound baby and the non-eater that is now eating white clouds. Can't tell the sex yet, but believe it to be male.

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/puget_baby_1.jpg

Tori

[Elliot]

I love your Cali Redsides Tori!

[Tori]

Thanks! I forgot to use 1 photo and he isn't exactly a baby being a year old, but this is Goldie. He is an Eastern baby that was born here. I forgot to mention, I handfed this one for over 6 months and now he is the most hateful snake I've ever had, snappy little thing.

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/goldie_1.jpg

Tori

[Thamnophis]

That is a very beautiful garter snake, Tori!

[Tori]

Thanks, I kept him out of all the babies because of the orange look to him. I wanted to see how he would turn out. Just recently got him to take fuzzies so he ought to grow faster now. He's so hateful that all I have to do is touch him with the fuzzy and he will strike at it. After a few times of that he finally really bites into it and down it goes. But he's just eating it to be spiteful. I also kept a female from the same batch of babies, but only because when I tried to turn her loose she wouldn't go. 3 hours later I go to where I turned them loose and she is still there. I sat down and she climbed up on me immediately. She's a momma's girl. Going to add a pic of her, she ought to be easy to photo, doesn't mind being handled at all. There, oh and she is Goldies sister.

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/female_eastern_.jpg

[drache]

Goldie is an amazing looking snake
and his sister is very nice too

[Odie]

This is my fav of Five so far :cool:

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/goldie_1.jpg

Tori

That is a gorgeous eastern!:eek:

[Tori]

Thanks! My friends couldn't figure out why I kept him, he looked pretty plain with no red as a baby. But I thought I saw something in his coloring and wanted to see what he would look like grown. I've never seen one like him before. I've seen some called orange flames that were pretty close and they happen naturally right? Not just from special breeding? The mother was brought to me by a couple of kids that found it being beaten by a bunch of brats. She was hurt pretty badly. She lived and gave birth about a month later. I have to admit there were a bunch of colors in that batch that weren't the normal for around here. 4 or 5 were lime green, but not one of those made it, refused to eat. And there were two that were silver and black, never saw that before. Don't know if it was her getting beat up or what but about a third of those babies didn't make it.

[GarterGuy]

Could have been from the trama, but who's to say.....babies can be kind of tough. Yeh, you can get really nice "morphs" naturally, but it's just that most people would want to try and be able to duplicate it over and over again....that's where the "special breeding" comes in. I can definitely say you've got a good garter eye.:D

Roy

[Tori]

Thanks, in the spring I may breed him to Prettyboy..(we can't always get the sex right when they are very young). She is 4 years old and has never been bred. She has a bit more yellow than is normal too, nothing like Goldie though. She's is pretty hateful herself, though it is usually bluff. Have to stay near enough to make sure she doesn't kill him for daring to come near her.

Tori

[Josh]

This is my fav of Five so far :cool:
http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/IMG_0021.JPG
i love the black streak!!!!
very beautiful

[Tori]

What kind is that, Odie? I love the colors on it and the white spot on its head. What do they look like grown?

Tori

[ssssnakeluvr]

looks like a cute little ordinoides to me....:D

[adamanteus]

Do you think so, Don? It's like no ordinoides I've seen....but then my experience is limited, living on this side of the pond!

[ssssnakeluvr]

well, the spots along the side say ordinoides, but after closer look, more like a ribbon by the markings on the head....wonder where the snake is from...he's in pennsylvania...could be ribbon if found out there... guess it would help if i knew where it was found.

[adamanteus]

I don't want to guess, because I hate being wrong!:rolleyes: But it kinda looks brachystoma/ proximus diabolicus. I'll pass on this one!:D

[Elliot]

It looks kind of like a penninsula ribbon, but it could be an eastern ribbon.

[GarterGirl]

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/Snakes_028.jpg

This is my favorite. :) Picture by brown655.

THAT IS SO CUTE!:D

[GarterGirl]

ALL of your babies are cute!

[enigma200316]

yeah I thought this was pretty kool myself.....:D

[Odie]

Yes, Ordinoides and Oregon, all 3 are:cool:
Take a look mom is on the right, did not know she was gravid:D
Taken 6 weeks before Five was born:cool:
Single-stripe morph center:D

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/100_3946.JPG

[ssssnakeluvr]

well, maybe that little one is an ordinoides...look in the middle...larger ondrinoides with the same marking...will say ordinoides now....

[drache]

more recent pics of my concinnus babies

[Elliot]

I love the color on their heads Rhea.:)

[GarterGuy]

Very pretty, they look like my little Petra when she was just a hatchling.:)

[KITKAT]

Here are the nice little parietalis girls that ssssnakelover sent me early this summer! They are growing fast!

THIS IS GAIA...

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//508/medium/gaia_and_worm.jpg

AND THIS IS TRINITY...


http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//508/medium/trinity.jpg

I find it interesting that Trinity is very long and lean, and very brightly colored. Gaia was brown when she arrived, and is just now getting some red. And Gaia is very short and thicker in body than Trinity...

[drache]

they're lovely
it always amazes me how they can vary in appearance

[Tori]

Beautiful babies Drache! Those are next on my "must have" list.

Tori

[Elliot]

I thought I'd bring this thread I created last year back to life since everyone is starting to get new babies. :D

[snake man]

I thought I'd bring this thread I created last year back to life since everyone is starting to get new babies. :D

When you first don't succeed try try again :D. bump.

[EasternGirl]

Okay...I managed to get a couple of baby pics with my new camera. The first one is of Bella and one of the eastern babies, in shed mode, sleeping together:

6494

The second one is of Little Joe lying on his moist moss:

6495

[snake man]

What type is bella?

[BLUESIRTALIS]

Wow!!! That super hypo water snake is awesome. Is that from glades herp stock?

[mikem]

^ Did I miss something :confused:

[snake man]

^ Did I miss something :confused:

no it really confused me too. :D

[EasternGirl]

Bella is a concinnus. Little Joe is an albino parietalis and the other babies are easterns.

[snake man]

I need to get myself some concinnus!

[BLUESIRTALIS]

Im talking about on the first page in the third pic right under the pugets there is a baby super hypo water snake and it is sweet!!!

^ did i miss something :confused:

[mikem]

Gotcha. It's not a pictiventris as the poster labeled it. Looks like a red phase mangrove salt marsh snake.

[BUSHSNAKE]

its labeled correctly, thats pictiventris

[mikem]

Not to derail this thread too much, but how can you tell it's a pictiventris? Just now getting into water snakes and have a lot to learn.

[BLUESIRTALIS]

All i know is glades herps use to breed them and they were called super hypos. They are for sure fl. Bandeds. The fl. Banded hypos are codom so when you breed them together you get super hypos and they are super red and very awesome looking. I never see them like this for sale though. I see hypos and normals but never the super hypos.

[BUSHSNAKE]

Not to derail this thread too much, but how can you tell it's a pictiventris? Just now getting into water snakes and have a lot to learn.
i can remember when those where available, at first he wanted a lot of money for those but the price came down quick cuz ultimitely price reflects demand, i dont think many people bought them so whoever was producing those probably stopped, Shannon had some killer ones too but she doesnt have hers anymore either

[mikem]

Thanks Shawn and Joe! The red coloration on it is just so intense, had me confused. Never seen one like that before :D
