My New Eastern Blackneck Garter!

[Greg'sGarters]

Yesterday (12/1/12), I happened to stumble upon an Eastern Blackneck Garter for sale. I immediately fell in love with him. After a conversation with the dealer, I eventually took him home for $125. He looks like any other Eastern Blackneck with only one exception. He has a VIVID orange stripe running down his back. I just wanted to share him with all of you.

I cannot decide upon a name for him. If you have any ideas for names, post them below.

Thanks!

Just a heads up, these guys require heavy scenting on their pinks.

Ok, I'm not even sure if that guy is big enough for pinkies yet. I'm going to try earthworms.

Congrats, one of my favourite garter species.......

Ditto on the pinkies, Blacknecks have big wide heads, You can start feeding XS mouse pinks scented with fish as soon as you want to.

Do I have to cut them in half? Or can I just feed him whole XS pinkies?

It all depends on pinky to snake head size ratio.
If the pinky is no wider then the snakes head I would say feed whole.

Any ideas for names?

Blackie...or Stripes maybe. He's very pretty! I don't have any baby easterns right now, but I have a couple of easterns that I need to find homes for...PM me if you want to discuss. Congrats on your new little one!
