Hmm where to start...
Last season when Scott Felzer produced the Blackbelly Garters from Central America(?) I happened to grab a trio of them. I kept the 3 of them in a single tub in my hatchling snake rack, minus the keeping them together part I pretty much kept them like how I keep kingsnakes and milks. Whenever I was able to get around to getting feeder fish they would get 2 dozen rosies in a waterbowl and they would eat most of them, whatever they didn't eat would be eaten the next day. All of them shed at least once a month and grew quick like most garters do...



Out of that trio the 2 biggest ones resemble little anacondas, which supposedly is what the typical blackbelly garter specimen looks like. The smaller one, which I'm assuming is the male doesn't really look like the females... (the male is in the lower left corner of the next pic)



Here's the one anaconda lookalike female in her new enclosure...



Here's the other one in my hand...



Here she is in the tank...



THEN, Joe P offered me some more blackbelly garters, which of course I couldn't pass up..
The one is a patternless greenish male, he's an adult I think but my younger-than-yearling females are already as big as him. It wasn't easy to get a good pic of this guy yesterday that's for sure. This is the only half decent pic of him I got.
