Lovely! But isn't Zena an eastern? The baby looks very red to me...do they have easterns that are that red...besides flames? Cleo is a nice name. I had a kitty named Cleopatra that I called Cleo.

Thankyouthankyouthankyou. Yes Zena is an Eastern. As for Cleo the container was marked something Het % something something red sided whatever. To some this makes a world of difference to me I don't care. I just wanted healthy female. I really wanted an adult but they are way out of my league in price. I just want a roomie for Zena. Now I just have to wait until Cleo grows up some.


Just how big should Cleo be to room with Zena? 2/3 the size? ½ maybe?

One of the best parts about keeping garters is watching them mature. I have vivid memories of my big girls when they were babies.
I can't help but see the baby in they now.

Ideally, they should roughly be about the same size if you are going to house them together, also keep in mind that Zena was a wildcaught snake and Cleo is a captive bred, so Zena might not be too fond of having a roommate, at least not in the very beginning.

Cleo looks like shes going to be a very pretty snake when she gets bigger! Your Zena is quite the looker herself.

I don't see much of Cleo, she says in hiding most of the time. I handle her a little each day but don't lift her out of the tank since she is to small to really hold onto. Today I put the UTH on and she burrowed down under the carefresh and headed right to the heat source. I can't find a hammock small enough for her tank so I went w/UTH instead. It's also hard to get pics of her since she is not one to lay still so photos are on the move.

As for Zena, she is still the meaning of sweetness, and even giving me the stink-eye because I disturbed her nap.......well she is still the sweetest eastern ever.
