Really hoping this girl took as she is HOT!

Hoping these chicago garter girls are gravid as the one is very hypo looking (lacking black) and they were both breed by the crazy hot looking green axanthic male.

Hoping this paradox florida albino (from Ed Hoene) is gravid who was bred by the super red hot erythrisitc/flame male, this will create a new line of flames and albino flames

Thanks guys for the reasurance, this is the time that makes me super nervous, the girls are fat but are they going to go? or slug out? or what? everything is running really late for me this year, of course I brumated extra long this year and colder too, but I'm starting to second guess myself...did I brumate too long? did I brumate too cold? did I put the males with the females long enough? are the temps right? am I feeding enough? feeding too much? ect ect ect. Man I'm a wreck, this waiting is KILLING me. Patience is such a virtue indeed, I'm checking everything twice a day, I think I need to just go on a vacation away from my snakeroom, lol.

Wow.
Never seen you like this before Jeff.
Have a nice, hot cup of tea and relax.;)

Your girls know just what to do.:D

[RicMartin]

I'm there with you, Jeff, in a way, it feels like my first in-house-born garter babies should have been here last month. I try not to think about bad news, etc. & just be patient, but it's killing me. I've triple-crossed every T. There's nothing else to do but wait.

[sirtalis01]

waiting for females to drop is the worst lol....Jeff dont feel bad, i feel the way you do this year EVERY year lmao.

[Chondro788]

Damn Jeff, I thought only noobs to garters like me had that many questions flowing through my mind!!! :D

[charles parenteau]

I really think you will have bigger and healthier litter than ever because you brumate the way the should...according to me!!fingers are crossed !!

[Jeff B]

I always have all those questions and I honestly hope I always do, because as soon as I think I know it all and have all the answers it's time to move on to a different hobby. There is so much to experiment, improve, modify, learn, that is should be a never ending process and if you think it isn't and you have it all figured out, then you're kinding yourself.
Yeah guys its always the waiting thats painfull or so it seems, and then after babies are all born, at some point it always hits me after the birthing season, man I kinda miss all that anticipation, excitement, even the anxiety. And then we wait for next season, lol.
Maybe I just need a big cup of patience.....aka beer, lol.

[Spankenstyne]

Nice snakes! Best of luck there and you've earned that big cup of patience

[RdubSnider]

Your babies came out so early last year it probably seems like a life time now it being June in all. I've met some pretty dumb *** people that bred snakes successfully. I'm quite certain your girls are going to please you this year. Lol

[RdubSnider]

Hey Jeff any updates on the girls?
