They're all looking very nice Greg. Slithers is beginning to colour up nicely now.

I think I got lucky when I had the choice ... ;) I narrowed it down to the two that showed the most colour ... and Slithers showed his character straight away ... when all the others were squirming to get out of the tub Slithers was the one sitting in the middle staring up at me .... still the only one of our garters that is not phased by the cats assaults on the enclosures lol

Yes all three are very nice looking. The colours are great.
When i was collecting snakes the first time around i got into Corns and Rat snakes and at the time(1992) i wanted an Everglades Rat snake. So congratulations on a beatiful Everglades.:cool:

I sneaked to their house and stole her, and I replaced her with this life-sized, super realistic rubber replica... they'll never know the difference!!!

Well, it would have fooled me, Shannon. I'd be posting on here 'My snake won't eat'.
