    Surprise!

    Last thursday 7/28/10,I was leaving for work around noon ,checked my snake collection and to my surprise , my other double het snow redsided female delivered 15 babies,3 jellybeans ( 4 albinos,1 snow,4 anerys,6 regulars).Unfortunately ,when I found them the 1 albino,2 anerys and 3 regulars were already dead,think the mama crushed them to death by accident.Yesterday, I found 1 albino dead floating in the waterdish ,I think she drowned,I feel so bad for the baby,good size too. Too much water in the doggydish. So I now I'm down to 2 albinos,1 snow,2 anerys and 3 regulars plus another litter from my other redsided het snow female(her sister) brn 7/15/10 with 1 anery and 11 possible hets babies. 6 of these babies from this older batch have eaten 5 times with feeder guppies. I'll try and feed the newborn clutch tomorrow. I'm just ecstatic about these babies. First time breeder here and hopefully not the last.

    Great news and sorry to hear about your losses.
    We are all on a learning curve here.
    Forum rules dictate you post baby photos as soon as possible. Please.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Something doesn't look right with that first one. He looks short and stubby.
