So they're Common Eastern Florida Blue Garters?

It is AMAZING how many variation of those there are! How can one species subspecies come in so many different colors/patterns?????????

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Yes... these are "common" (i dont really like that word, no garter snake is common, corn snakes are common lol) eastern garters.... basically, they are a locality of eastern garter snake that for one reason or another, evolved to have varying amounts of blue. Both the eastern garters in florida, and the Florida Blue striped garters have blue on them... so blue must be a good color to wear down there!

Lori... I am so glad you like them... you female looks SO much like mine. When I first got her in august... she had no blue on her. Since shedding twice... and settling into a happy home with boyfriend snake... she has become a really nice shade of blue... its crazy! I have to take pics. Here is my male for now... these guys really grow on you... (just ask Lori LOL)

[Snake lover 3-25]

wow he's BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

Oh dang i missed the part about curious. i really hope hes okay

Reed, thanks, I'm hoping that we can get this eye thing cleared up quickly. He's such a great little snake. He's still so small... he weighs 25 grams! But he's in good weight for his size; he's just a tiny little guy. I just adore him and Reed both!!!!!! I recently put a "swimming pool" in their tank, a 1/2 gallon container, and Reed really seems to enjoy swimming in it.

Shannon, your girl is sooooo gorgeous!!!! I absolutely LOVE these guys... I love all of their markings and their color, too. I can't get their true color in these pics, and I've realized it's because the light over their tank has a blue tint. So when I snap pics, the flash gives them a yellow/green look. I need to find a better light.

The male shed yesterday and then he hid in this hide like he was feeling naked. LOL



The female said, heck with you, if you're not going for this buffet I am!





That last pic is actually kind of sad as the fish in the bowl is looking out at his buddy...

I had 6 peach fuzzies, several nightcrawlers, and 6 minnows in that bowl and it was empty within an hour. I don't know if she ate it all (remember, she ate 6 pinkies at work the day before!!!) or if he came out after I left the room. I think they are piggy snakes!!

[Aundrea]

WOW They are beauties!!!! Im so happy that you got them

Boy they are little piggies!! LOL. Its a Thanksgiving dinner for them LOL

[Lori P]

I can't seem to stop taking pics of these guys. LOL I'm in love.





You know, I think they're hungry again. They've been pacing the tank all day!! Omg, I'm going to have to get a second job to feed them... LOL
