So... when garters are first born, what goes on? (All I can think of is Anji's momma snake running to the other side of the tank in horror, lol) Do they come out one at a time... several at a time... are they encased in anything? (What are they in inside the momma... individual sacs or one big sac??)

Do they all start to scatter, or do they hang near the momma for a few minutes, hours, or days? When do they generally start looking for food?

Sorry if this is too basic, but I have NO experience with snake birthing, and am curious. :-)
