On 5/30/10 baby Checkered Garters (Thamnophis marcianus marcianus) were born on the Ranch for the first time. Little did I know but one of the babies escaped the adult enclosure and has been on the loose until today. This picture of her was after a meal and water. I hope this little one, which is far behind in size to its siblings will be OK. I'm excited that I was able to get her to eat so soon.
