Hey everyone! I haven't posted here in a while, I'm sorry about that.
I've had my blue axanthic female (Radix) since she was a babe in 2009. Didn't start breeding garters 'till about 2 years ago. She's had a couple boyfriends since then, but no luck on the babies.
About 2 weeks ago, I only just started wondering if she was gravid, or just in need of a diet.
Suddenly babies! 3 Live, 1 still, 1 slug.
I'm super happy about it! I felt like this wouldn't happen for her! I would have been glad all the same just to have her around as a pet, but now she's a breeder too.
I'm also a bit worried. Mom's totally fine, but two of the babes seem weak. I didn't see the birth, but the weakest one had already lost the end of its tail.
I understand the failure to thrive thing, dealt with it before.
I'm keeping myself ready to see all three fail. because in the back of my mind, I wonder if they were born premature or something.
Thankful that Akasha's alright. Merely hopeful for the scrubs. All my friends are asleep so I showed up to the forum. I had to tell somebody!
