Well...the bad news is that my little guy didnt make it. I hope yours has a better fate but I couldnt pinpoint any cause for his problem. He acted pretty normal up until he died. He did seem possibly a little slower than what i would have expected from a baby garter but i had never had one so young before so i'm not sure how abnormal that is. My snake was a lot younger than yours are. Unfortunately I dont have any advice that would help you. Sorry about that...but good luck.
