I like all of the neat "snake journal" threads members have posted, so I thought I'd start one too.
Currently we have "Ember", a little baby that my daughter and I found in a storm drain. We also have a litter of scrubs from a wild caught female we dubbed "Dragon". Dragon and most of her babies will be released, and we will probably keep 4 of the little ones + Ember. The snakes are all wandering garters.
Here are some photos from this week
Several babies hanging out:

Here's Ember and the one for sure keeper from Dragon's litter so far. If male, it will be Ezio, if female it will be Ashe. Their colors are so different!!

They're all cute, it'll be tough picking out which ones stay.

Re: MC's Snakes
Love the one with more yellow. I don't see that color too often down here.

Re: MC's Snakes
Thanks everyone. Had a super huge bummer last night
The one scrub I had picked out from Dragon's litter so far passed away. I am not sure of the cause. It had no visible injuries. I found it curled up in the middle of the tank as if it were resting, and I do not think it had been dead long. I could not feel anything hard in it's tummy (my first thought was that it has swallowed substrate). Just a big bummer. Maybe FTT? All of the other babies are doing fine, though I do have 4 which have not eaten... they are however VERY active. Several of the scrubs are getting ready for their "first" sheds. My daughter has picked her two snakes, "Rusty" and "Scute".

Re: MC's Snakes
Sorry to hear about your loss.
Failure to thrive is as good a reason as any when it comes to unexplained deaths in newborns.Steve
