That's what I keep saying...that he needs to think about moving to the ranch...lol. Those babies are so awesome! Yep...I still need to confirm the sex of my babies...and Ziggy. I think the new baby is a girl...she has a little bump that I am keeping an eye on...could be parasites.

Joe...pass that dutchie on the left hand side....

I've only got a few babies eating worms and/or fish right now. Going to pick up some feeder guppies this weekend and see if something with more movement will get the rest interested.

give them time and keep them hydrated...theyll get going

[BUSHSNAKE]

are the babies a good size?

[mikem]

Oh yea. They're pretty big babies. I was surprised how big they were haha

I think it took my babies a week in a half to eat for the first time after they were born. Just keep offering food so you don't miss that window that I told you that Steve told me about.

Hey Mike, I just came across this thread randomly, and am confused : http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/gene...-garter-s.html

I thought that when you made this(current) thread that they were your first garters. Do you still have those two little confusing guys?(Sorry for being nosy, i'm just confused now)

[mikem]

That thread was made when I was just getting into garters and found this forum. I purchased those two as concinnus, but as you could tell from the posts in that thread, it wasn't that simple. So, not being sure, I gave them to a local guy who keeps a couple garters.

It probably might be for the best....Since they were so mysterious Glad you've got all the nice ones, that you know waht they are now!

I haven't asked you recently? How is little Ari doing? Perseus and Zeus are getting big! Post some pics of her!

Did I tell you the story about how when Ari was born...Cee Cee had been in with Seeley and I was unaware that she had delivered Ari while she was in his tank? I took her back out and put her back in her tank. A few hours later, I looked in Seeley's tank and found Seeley and Ari curled up together under the basking lamp! It was priceless!
