Welcome! What a nice thing to say about our forum. Same thing happened to me with my first garter since being a kid last year. Husband found large garter on Mother's Day while mowing. Thought she was either just a "fat snake" or could be gravid. Then, one day in August, we came home to 11 squiggles in the tank! I still have Mom and 6 of her offspring. Plus a few others now

Babies usually take readily to salmon as well and for an overall diet, slip in some pinkie parts.

Also, as a forum requirement, we need PICTURES!!!
