    4th litter of the year!

    And another bummer...
    My sirtalis sirtalis gave birth to 13 babies in total. Only 5 of them healthy and alive, 3 with weird shaped heads and 5 that didn't make it out of the eggsack (also being deformed).
    Both parents where het. melanistic and I totally missed the odds. There was one black in the litter and it was a stillborn.

    This litter really keeps the moral up
    4 litters with 9 young in total...
    2 of them consisted of nothing but slugs.

    Ah well, all we can do now is hope the young will eat and be healthy!

    So sorry to hear this. You are having a rough year with the garter snake litters. Hope your next one(s) are ok, if you are expecting more.

    Thanks,
    I'm defenitly having a bad garter year. I''m not sure what 'caused' it...I'm still expecting 2 cyrtopsis cyrtopsis females. I'm really hoping one of them will deliver succesfully (well, I hope both will...)

    Awww, Sjoerd.........
    that's too bad. It has been a rough year for you.
    But congrats on the 5 healthy ones, and hopefully your cyrtopsis litters will be a success.
