This is an interesting tale with some sad parts but some glad As I said in another post my snakes are having babies don't know which one because I haven't seen the actual birth. I found the first baby this past tuesday am I kept looking for more all day Tues with nothing happening this little guys is alive and kicking. Yesterday moring I found a clutch of about 6-7 more all curled up together but were DOA. They felt a little slimy so I don't know if they were just born or if they were eaten and thrown back up. I though that was it 1 baby that was safe in it's own tank. Now yesterday aft. I go to check on the snakes and low and behold another healthy baby in the tank so I removed it to safety quickly just in case last evening there was another so now there are 3 and jsut before the basking lamp went off on it's timer I thought I saw another but it was a no show this am. but I will keep looking and it's time for a complete tank clean this weekend This all new to me I am following suggestions found here for rearing baby Garters but is this a weird birth process over a couple of days or do they just bang them out all at once?. Could it be the survivers were just hiding under the aspen?
