    Re: checkered garters.

    Have you ever encountered any problems feeding them all at the same time? I would be worried that they might each grab an end.

    Re: checkered garters.

    yes. I watch them like a hawk at feeding. They strike in 1 second, so they all had a mouth fulll THAT TIME. I had 10 babys that I raised, and they did get into each other. I just pick up the one trying to steal the meal and lightly tap/touch the top of its head or tail, and they let go. I did this with them since they were babies. My pairs of adults need to be pulled apart sometimes too. Most of the time they aren't that close to each other when feeding.

    Re: checkered garters.

    I also give some snakes their food together. Don't make the food to big, so they can swallow it directly or almost directly when they get it. And always watch them. So long it went always ok here.

    I've had my male concinnus attacking my female onces without here having anything in her mouth (both where still small), it was just after dinner of the both of them. So even after dinner, I stay close by for some time.

    When the third picture would be sharp and so, it would be priceless.

    Those three checkereds eating in unison are briliant. I put mine in hagan tanks when feeding them pinkies but if it works for you then carry on.

    Maybe a little of both?

    I don't know if you used a phone to take that picture, but they still take pretty damn awful close-ups.

    Yeah, awesome moment wasted with a terrible camera. Terrific shots though.
