The eastern female garter I rescued from my friend's yard about two months ago delivered today! I was wondering if she was pregnant...I guess I can stop wondering now.Anyhow, there were three jellybeans and 13 healthy little ones. No kinks or deformities. They've all already shed and I've split them into 6 containers. The mama looks like she's doing alright too. I definitely saw her breeding with one of my males last week...Not sure what that was about. I don't think it was successful as I didn't see cloacas touch. I haven't tried feeding them yet but am going to try guppies and worms later today. This is my first time with newborns but I've studied and learned a lot from this forum so I'm prepared.
I'm interested in popping them - Does anybody have tips on that?
I'll post pictures later. My camera's batteries died...and I can't upload photos without first resizing.I'll post them soon though.
Thank you! I'm just thrilled. All of the babies are frisky and adorable!

Re: Babies!!!!
awesome! give them a day or 2 before popping. gotta be real careful popping...gently squeeze below the cloaca and if it's a male, the hemipenes will pop out, if nothing, it's a female.
as for resizing...you can go to photobucket and get a free account, just download the pics there and they will automatically be resized and can copy links to post on here...I do it all the time.

Re: Babies!!!!
I don't have photobucket, but I have adobe photoshop! Some of the photo quality was lost during upload and resizing, but the cuteness is still obvious
First is a picture of pregnant mama, about a month or so before popping.
All thirteen sloughing.
One still in an eggsack and a jellybean.
This is my current set-up for them. I've poked holes in their containers for air. I have two snakes in each container,except for one that has three.
Each container is labeled with a number so I can keep track of who's eating. The white is tissue paper.
Now for the indisbutable cuteness!
