ca red sided garter and central american garters

[annulataarethebest]

the last time I posted about my CA red-sided garter snakes they were just taking pinky parts scented with fish... one feeding after that they took unscented parts, and thanks to the bags of extra small pinky mice I got from rodentpro I was able to get them both on pinks on the next feeding. My male and female both take 2 pinkies per meal now and are hungry every other day, this isn't the best pic but I think he's about a foot and a half away from the pic being good lol. also there's a blurry pic of the female attacking a live pinkie, I was surprised when both of them did not hesitate to take down live pinkies as well...

and here's a lousy shot of some blackbelly garter snakes from central america... little anaconda lookalikes, as soon as I put fish in the bowl they come out from under the substrate and go straight in the bowl. I keep a 1.2 group in a tub in my hatchling snake rack... I figure they're probably alright like this until at least spring. in the pic you can see the smallest of the group with a fish bulge in it, the two bigger snakes both ate 5 rosies each.
