I love looking at all the wonderful pictures people post of their beautiful snakes. Its cool how you can read back so far on some threads and watch these animals grow through stories and photos. I want to show off my pretties and have a thread to share in too So here it is.
I'll start with a quick history of how I came to own and LOVE Garters.
About 14 years ago I had a very serious BF who had a son. This boy brought home 2 garters one day and one became my best friend. Her name was Sneaky Snake. She had babies about a week after I got her. I wish I had kept one. She was a Concinnus, caught in the Orchards area of Vancouver Washington. I had her 5 years. It almost killed me when she died. I couldn't have a snake again for years.
THEN, Le Ann (Mommy2many) gave me one of her beautiful Easterns. I named her Failte (Pronounced "Fall-Sha"). She is such a sweet girl. She is beautiful and friendly. I feel like I can't even remember a time when she wasn't here. I love her!!!
Baby Failte....

Pumpkin was my second girl. My daughters best friend is an 83 year old man (Ed) who lives down the street. He has no grandkids around and my daughter has no grandparents close so it works out perfectly. Ed was walking down to visit one day and found her on the road right in front of my house. He picked her up and brought her to me. She is a cool girl but is by far my most aggressive escaper. It's like she is magic I think she is probably 2. I've had her a year now... IMG_0005.jpg

Then I got Figaro off this forum. She is BY FAR my best eater. She also loves warm baths more than any other of my snakes...

Then I got 3 W/C snakes from a man in Coeur D'Alene, ID about a month ago. The little boy would be happy if all I did all day long was hold him. He is super cool... IMG_0031.JPG.

I'll do the rest in the next post...
