New baby garter...

[beaniesmommy]

Well my mom saved this little one from getting ran over in front of her house. She called me and asked what to do with it and of course I said I will take it. He is beautiful... Black and like a seafoam green. Oh, and the sweetest, calmest snake I have ever held. He possed for pictures for as long as I need him too... Maybe you can help me with what it is and the sex?

I figured out the macro setting on my new camera... I can't believe I hadn't used that yet, I have taken crappy picture after crappy picture. Which these are still by no means good but better close up...

Oh, and I just dropped my husband off at the airport to go to Las Vegas to play in the World Series of Poker, so send your good thoughts to Vegas for us. :)

Very nice Andrea!!! Simply gorgeous! I'm beginning to think that these may be the snakes for me. Wish hubby good luck for me! So will he be on tv and everything? Cool...

[jeanette]

he is beautiful!!!!

[beaniesmommy]

He is such a love, I will NOT be giving him up. I thought he was a boy too... So I am getting the hang of this... Although I have too many boys now I need some ladies in the house. :)

As for my husband at some point he might be on TV if he doesn't bust out. Fingers crossed! :p

Oh, and good luck to your hubby!!!! Mine was 2 seats away from going last year... sigh. He SO wanted to go.

WOW what a beautiful baby, how I wish I would find one like that! But unfortunately, that kind of beauty doesn't live in Central Indiana!

I would LOVE to have a garter that beautifully blue!
