Stefan's garters

This is the snake that had a miscavige (miscarriage) in March this year. She hasn't even seen a male since then. I consider babies less likely than slugs, but something is definitely coming and I'll be plugging the gaps in the enclosure until that happens.

I hope the situation turns out well.
Keep us posted.

Really cute pics! I love the close up of the face!

Another 4 months later - 276g. Mighty suspicious.

"Mighty suspicious" - That's an understatement. That girl is gravid. I still say babies are just as likely as slugs if she has mated in the past year or two (which she has) but we'll see.

Maybe last time her eggs were already bad before she had a way to fertilize them and maybe this time you'll get babies.

This was the female that gave birth to one live baby and 14 stillborn in March, perhaps miscarriage was a poor euphemism to use. I suppose we'll see what she'll squeeze out this time.

Fingers crossed for a nice surprise

Slugs would be a nice surprise. She's big enough to launch maybe 15-20 babies and last time it took me 7 months to get rid of one.

Finger crossed for slugs it is then

[Stefan-A]

Yeah.

I was just wondering why she was getting fatter despite being on a diet and why she's constantly snapping at my fingers every time I unlock the enclosure.

And I thought I had a hard time finding homes for this years offspring.

Never thought I'd say this on the garter snake forum but...

Good luck. Here's hoping for slugs!
