awwwww how cute!!!! :D

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

the one at the bottom is still considerably lighter than the other two... but has not gotten any lighter lately! Im thinking its just a nicely colored snake!

[Snake lover 3-25]

he is quite lightly colored..... awwwww i WANT babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[Lori P]

They are just beautiful, Shannon. :-)

[Snake lover 3-25]

how long is your female???? and how many did she have????? and how old are the babies????

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

the babies are 8 or 9 months now... she had 5, 2 didnt make it, she is about 1.5 feet long... she's still a youngin herself!

[anji1971]

They're all quite pretty.:)
It's interesting to see the colour difference in each separate baby. Too bad none are as light as their momma!

[count dewclaw]

They are very pretty, Shannon.

wow nice hypo, did you get the private message i sent you? i wanted to know what kind of garter that black and blue one is in your contest picture. any info would be great.:cool:

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

and wow the one on the bottom does look like the hypo, has the deminished stripe too-so do the others, maybe it isnt a hypo? i doubt it a just a really pretty regular but, like some other trait?

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

I honestly think its just a nice light baby and that it will really bring out the hypo trait some day!!!

Memnoch, I did indeed get your message, but was unable to reply to you... I am not sure why. That is a Blue Puget Sound Garter snake, I have a pair, they don't get much bluer than them! You can find blue pugets relatively easy and they are very affordable since they have become very common in the snake trade. Since baby season is coming, I am sure you will see lots available soon!!! My female may be gravid, but it is too early to tell yet!

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

yea or another rare but possible thing is that she mated with a het hypo and the bottoms ones hypo and the others are hets, anyways great looking snakes

Very nice snakes :)

[bulrush]

Very nice. The first babies from your pet is always exciting. I was excited when my shrimp had babies the first time. Now I have LOADS of shrimp.

[Thamnophis]

Beautiful snakes, Shannon!

thats a nice thought... but I don't think so. The baby isn't anywhere near pale enough compared to mama snake. and it wasn't born pale either. Hypo animals are born noticeably lighter. The baby also has black in places where the hypo does not, and has a fair amount of labial markings compared to her.

I think they all look very nice.

:eek: You must send them to Scotland right away!!!! :eek: The safety of the planet is at stake :p

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

oh noez i guess the planet is going to die!!!

okay heres what we can do. mail me penelope... and then after i have penelope i will mail you *cough fake rubber snakes cough* the garters!

[gregmonsta]

OK ... :P here's what I'll do ... I'll conceal her with invisible paint (saves us any customs trouble) and she should be with you at 9 o'clock tonight via british post teleport .... I think the garters might be too stressed by such a procedure so ;) just send them in the regular fashion ... :D

Looks like your babies are all doing great, Shannon. Thanks for the update.
