Steveo's Garters

[Invisible Snake]

My dilemma now is that I have a blue girl on order with Scott. My other half is adamant about only getting one more, so I may need some stud services in a couple years.

Is your other half knowledgeable on garters? I ask because as a kid when I kept garters I was told not to get anymore garters but I did anyway and just told my mom that my 1 garter snake had babies lol

Now that is funny.

Eh, she knows enough... enough to be mad when I'm saying I'm only getting one and then two littleuns show up.

We're working on buying a house within the next year (I feel like a broken record saying that), at which point I'll have a "hobby room" all to myself.

I mean, it was hard enough to convince her that I didn't order the T. e. scotti that Scott sent with last year's order... but then I dropped it and it disappeared so it became moot anyway.

Time for an update but nothing exciting to report. The male eastern is opaque and didn't eat tonight. The female eastern is up to 88g and gulped down a whole rat pinky.

No bad news is always a good update.

The male eastern didn't eat again last night. I think he's only eaten once in the last month, which is about when I switched them all to rat pinky parts. I'll have to pick up some silversides this week and do some scenting.

Weighed and fed tonight. Females got a pinky rat each, males got pinky rat parts with some silverside chunks for scent.

Females:
96g
76g
66g

Males:
40g
36g

I've added a female pickeringii to the menagerie. She was a bit reluctant to feed, but tonight she finally ate some silverside slivers in her water dish.

The others are doing well. The male eastern is eating again, he just needed some fish scent to get going.

The green radix girl really likes biting. She'll seek out my fingers when my hand is in the tank.

A biting radix, interesting. How about a few photos of that green radix, please.
