    Re: Any Idea what this might be?

    another thread, that Iīve missed for a while.
    Yes this looks like a very clear defined "piebald" allel on a garter.
    From my point of view itīs good, that youīve taken her, Brett.
    We have a few blackbirds each year with this kind of partial albinism, (and this is real albinism, because the pertained scales are lacking all pigments) but they never have along life!

    I like this forum for sharing knowledge, photos, experiences, grief and happyness and donīt need more.

    That poor snake.
    Come on Gertie, that's a bit of an over-reaction.

    good luck with mrs piebald - I hope she has a good long life, starting a great piebald dynasty
    and
    I realize that, because of a general sense of overwhelm, I've not been as careful/thoughtful when posting, and I sure hope we didn't scare away that poor boy with the snake with the broken back - I feel really bad about my initial harshness there

    Rhea, I think several of us feel bad about that. Don't be so hard on yourself though. I honestly think that if our new friend had stated that he/she was 14 with no way to get to the vet that the posts that followed would have been an outpouring of offers to help.

    Brett - any news today?? Hope it's good

    Guys, it has been since 5:00pm EST since the first baby came out. It is now 9:02am and I just woke up. Still no more babies

    Like I told Don in a PM, the snake looks very "at peace" if you will. A behavior I have never seen from this pitcular snake. She has been this way since the first baby.

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

    The one baby is doing great, not eating yet but not so sure that is an issue cause he/she is pretty plump right now.
