I can hardly contain myself!!!

Im so excited, i was going to wait and post once i had them, but i just cannot contain myself. I have found not one but two adorable little checkered baby garters to adopt. Thank you so much to everyone that helped me find these two adorable babies. I will post pics of them as soon as they arrive. I am expecting delivery on October the 6th, unless something happens to change that. It was getting very frustrating trying to arrange shipping, but at last we have done it. so crossing fingers that all goes smoothly from here on out.

Its like 2 weeks away but i have have their new home ready for them already..lol.. gives me some time to get the humidity down from the cocohusk and play with temps a bit to get it all on track for when babies arrive.

ive been smiling all day today since i got confirmation of a shipping day, and arrival day and got them and the shipping all paid for. We are going to name one Indy and not sure bout the other yet, you know the whole checkered flag and all lol Anyhow, this is going to be the longest two weeks of my life waiting on the lil ones to arrive.

Since i know babies are escape artists and my top was meant for a 55 gallon not a 25 gallon so it was longer and wider, i was worried they might get out, so i cut the mesh the appropriate size, and a friend of mine custom made a frame for it so it fits nice and snug now. so no babies shall escape or get injured. I will still weight the corners just in case lol but i feel much better knowing they will be secure.

Doing the happy dance here in Canada!

pretty cool. checkered garters are great looking snakes. always stared at their pics in the field guides as a kid. took 36 years to actually see one in the field

I've seen them in a group picture but not just the two of them. The whole litter is adorable. There new home is ready and waiting for them, even collected worms from the garden today as i was harvesting our potatoes, for them. It might not be too readily available come October to collect worms. I do have frozen pinkies for them as well. got them worms in a Styrofoam container with some moist soil. can we say BUFFET lol

Hopefully yours won't be as mean as mine.
