2011 Checkered Garter babies

[HazAnga]

I took some labial photo's of a couple of the babies, I think the first pix are the one of the known pastel, please let me know if I'm correct?
I think it'll be easier for me to see the markings when there bigger.




I think this is one of the other garters.



If I'm correct I see how the non pastels labial markings are a little more defined compared to the pastels which are a little less and kind of unorganized..?
I also think it's going to be a little harder for me to sort out the albino's.

Nice big babies.

Yeah I guess they are fairly big. I can't wait too see how many my orher female tina pops out. I saw them mating this weekend so I think she'll have a much later clutch, otherwise a small one.

I tried to feed them today... no dice, I'll wait a couple days and maybe try and feed them this weekend.

As updated in the other post in urgent care I've lost one of the normals. There are two more babies that wern't too healthy looking. I hope they make it.

Nice looking babies, just had a smaller litter here too 7 babies. Hopefully the others make it for you too.

So I tried another feed today, worm pieces. I got 2 of them to eat, one of the albino's and the Pastel. I don' think I'll be having any problem getting them to eat in the future. I'm curious as to what everyone else's methods are to first time feedings and getting new scrubs to eat. I am trying to stay away from the guppies if I can help it, I'd rather have a scrub set on only eating worms or fresh talapia then like last year where I had one stuck on guppies. It takes too many guppies to feed a garter and get it to grow.

With mine, I waited for a while and then I offered fish. We didn't have pinkies. They ate fish a couple times and then when my pinkies arrived I offered some of that cut up and they took that as if they've been eating them forever. All of them ate the fish when I offered it, and all of them took the pinkies. 4 of them are, however, scared of worms. I cut a larger worm into tiny, bite sized pieces and they all hid, except Spots..
