ca red sided garter and central american garters

[annulataarethebest]

the last time I posted about my CA red-sided garter snakes they were just taking pinky parts scented with fish... one feeding after that they took unscented parts, and thanks to the bags of extra small pinky mice I got from rodentpro I was able to get them both on pinks on the next feeding. My male and female both take 2 pinkies per meal now and are hungry every other day, this isn't the best pic but I think he's about a foot and a half away from the pic being good lol. also there's a blurry pic of the female attacking a live pinkie, I was surprised when both of them did not hesitate to take down live pinkies as well...

and here's a lousy shot of some blackbelly garter snakes from central america... little anaconda lookalikes, as soon as I put fish in the bowl they come out from under the substrate and go straight in the bowl. I keep a 1.2 group in a tub in my hatchling snake rack... I figure they're probably alright like this until at least spring. in the pic you can see the smallest of the group with a fish bulge in it, the two bigger snakes both ate 5 rosies each.

Hey Mike, nice snakes. a little OT but I know this will interest you. a young friend of mine from CT found a t+ albino northern ringneck last week. apparently he already has the snake eating too... along with a small group of other ringnecks he's been keeping. He showed me a picture of it so I know it's legit... small but not an adult, maybe 9 inches long? A few scars, for obvious reasons too.

That's pretty cool Shannon, I haven't heard of a ringneck morph being found since 2009... I'm glad the snake's eating, hopefully he'll have some success with it.

Nice Mike! Infernalis are so cool!!!

I too would like to see a picture Shannon.

I haven't kept ringneck snakes in a couple years and I'm currently about to get back into them... only because Striped ringneck snakes are toooo sweet.

My male CA red sided shed today so before he got his usual 2 pinkies I got a new pic of him.
