Difficulty passing slugs; When do I go to a vet?

[the_edsta]

It's fairly common for female garters to do this at around 2 years old and a few times in their lives thereafter. Interestingly, some milk snakes will lay fertile eggs in the absence of a male, at around 6-7 yrs old. The babies will all be female and are genetically identical to the mother. (parthenogenesis)

Thanks... I needed a new word! :-)
