Got my first garters today, a pair of flame easterns from garterchick. They're absolutely adorable!

I wasn't prepared for how tiny they are, or how fearless they are. As soon as I opened the box, one of them made a break for it and hid under my keyboard. I lifted up the keyboard and it crawled right into my hand! They seem perfectly content to explore the "warm squishy tree" if picked up.

Here are some pics. I apologize for the quality, I've only got a camera phone.

I can already tell they're different from every other snake I've owned. They seem genuinely curious, about everything. When I sit down next to them, they come out to see what I'm doing.

Awesome. Regardless of how a garter snake looks, that's the best part along with watching them grow and getting to know them as individuals.:) ^^^

Thought of any names yet?

They are "Sunset" (named by my wife, because his red fades to yellow on his belly), and "Fire" because he's very high red, even on his belly.

Congrats, Tina's flames color up really nice with age too.

My bright red girl came from Tina.
