    Exclamation Baby garter snakes!!

    So on a fishing trip to lake erie two months ago. i found an all black eastern garter snake. i had trouble identifying it as a garter snake. as i had never seen this coloration before. it's scales and underbelly are all black except for directly
    under it's neck and head. I also caught a butlers garter snake on the trip.

    i decided to take them home. and last week they both gave birth!! the black garter had about two dozen babys. six all black the rest have varying color paterns.

    any tips/link's on baby garter snakes and garter snake color variations would be very appreciated

    The site isn't working, it seems that the domain has expired and unless it is renewed soon it will be deleted. I hope this Scott fellow renews it soon, unless he feels his site wasn't doing good enough and wants it to die.

    Yeh this melanistic trait the garters have here in ohio is amazing. thanks for the link. I never knew eastern garter snakes had so many variations.

    I cant wait to breed my melanistic.
