    Not much to report. She just had the one and lost 15g in the process. I'm going to give her a few more days, then I'll probably release her where I found her and keep the newborn.

    That might be all, yeah. I've had a feeling from the start that she's pretty old. She was also underweight for her length when I found her, so maybe one was all that she had resources for.

    She shed shortly after I brought her home and didn't have a pre-birth shed. Must have been because she didn't get very big.

    Re: My first garter

    Steveo....I might wait until releasing her for at least a week or so. Cee Cee took at least four days to have three live young and then two weeks to pass 37 more stillborns. She may surprise you and have a few more live and you should watch her to make sure she gets anymore stillborns passed without complications. If she can't pass them for some reason...she could go septic. Congrats on the new babies and sorry to hear about the stillborns.

    Sorry to hear about your loss.
    I'd/we'd love to see the 4 survivors.
