Re: Mike's Garters
Cool
I wasn't sure because she looks checkered, but I was also reading Marnie's signature and saw she only had one male marcianus, and alot of easterns, but she just looked so checkered to me....

Couldn't get a good shot of Ari feeding, so here she is with one of my natrix girls.

Re: Mike's Garters
Great pics Mike! Ari looks very similar to the natrix in that pic. To answer Emily...the easterns around here have a very distinctive checkered pattern below the dorsal stripe. I have often thought the same thing...that they look very much like checkereds...however, checkereds have very different faces than easterns. They have a flame kind of pattern stemming up on the supralabial scales. That is the best way I know how to describe it. Ari is the baby of my two WC easterns...Cee Cee and Seeley. We don't have marcianus in the wild around here to my knowledge...I think they tend to be found further south. I have only seen eastern garters here in Delaware.

Re: Mike's Garters
Lol...I just showed Julian the pics of Ariadne. He was so happy to see her! In the pic of her and the nartrix...he couldn't figure out which one was Ari! Lol...he is now arguing with me that Ari is a natrix....rofl!
