Meet the gang!

Haha. I'm not gorgeous in any sense. I think he may just be a bit desperate. The only females in the enclosure are his sister and my one year old northwerstern. Thumbelina is in there too, but she's super tiny.

You got violated. Hee Hee.

Well don't let my boyfriend know the snakes are trying to get it on with my fingers... Haha. Night make him jealous.

My niece and nephew are over and they both enjoy seeing my snakes. Today I decided to see what Mama might do if they tried touching her or holding her. I have to say, she did surprise me in a good way. I thought she might be nervous, having little loud creatures touching her and moving quickly around her, but she was quite calm and actually slithered up the arm of my niece for a while. I got a short video of her calmness. It's only 38 seconds, but it's cute seeing her be so nice to the twins.
My nephew is scared of snakes and I think it helped him see that she isn't going to try to bite or eat him like he kept saying.

Future garter snake fans. Nice job Chantel

[kibakiba]

Thanks, I enjoy teaching them about my garters. Every time they visit they like coming into my office and looking at the snakes. I never let them touch them before though, but they were younger and squeezed anything they got to hold. They did good with Mama

Holding Snappy right now... She's started hissing and puffing herself up when I hold her along with the head flattening and striking. I keep telling her that if she calms down for 5 minutes and stays calm, I'll put her down, but at 4 minutes she spazzes. I know she cant understand me, but I talk to her a lot when I hold her. She's so evil. She's also developing a little red on her eyebrow like area and down he nose. It's cute, but adds to her "demonic" look

Been a while since I last saw those two. How about some updated pics or short video? I would love to see how they've grown up. Some people constantly post pics and vids of their other snakes but never show any of "my" babies.

[kibakiba]

Sure I can make a little video, Snap would probably kill me if I tried taking a picture of her. Ember is different, though. He loves the camera and likes to come up to it. They're packing on the weight and size I'll see if I can get the video soon.

[ConcinusMan]

Use plenty of light please. (but coming from behind or off to the side of the camera) It was hard to see last time.
