Hi, new to the forum and also to garter keeping.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced a miscarriage from their garters ?

I have recently swapped a sand snake for an adult pair of albino garters, just after I got them I found some recently expelled blood in the tub. It wasn't feces as it seemed to be pure blood, but fairly congealed. The female had put her nose into it but otherwise both snakes seemed fine. Since then neither has been interested in food, though the male has mated her so that explains his nonfeeding.

I've read that live bearers can get upset and miscarry easily, I was just wondering if this is likely to be what happened. I've not kept live bearers before so not come across it.

Thanks

Mike
