    Re: Surprise birth, need help?

    Congrats on a nice litter, this year I offered chopped worms and chopped rosies, most ate with in 3-4 days, some 2nd day after birth, some took a week, and a few held out for live, which after a 10 days I usually cave and offer a live fish or tadpole and that usually does the trick, but then convert off live ASAP. Waiting 3-4 days to offer seems like would be a prudent average for most of the litters I have produced in the past. After a few weeks and they get fat and happy and bulletproof I start mixing pinkie parts in and slowly switch over to rodents. I think I will give a night crawler as a regular treat but keep rodents as the staple. Good luck with them and have fun watching them grow and mature, both in terms of size/looks and personality.

    I don't exactly know which ones ate and which didn't, but tomorrow we shall see.
    They are so beautiful, the pictures don't give them justice.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Re: Surprise birth, need help?

    Well, I have a waiting list on quite a few of them, and I do want some myself, so I think these little darlings are keepers.

    They are very active this morning, though I can't help wonder what they think of my silly little dove cooing 24/7.

    Re: Surprise birth, need help?

    Sorry for double post, but a little update.

    I think I have found the first "keeper".
    Right now her name is Ditzy Doo, unless it turns out "she" is a "he". And of course, considering my sexing skills, that will be the case. Though, I suppose it's to early to tell for sure? Anyway, let me see if I find her in one of the pictures.
    Just found her, her you guys go:

    The reason I want to pick her is because of her cute little dot on her face. It might be hard to see, but I can circle it in red if anyone needs help. I really edited that photo a lot with picnik, because the original looked very blurry, and messy. At least this one isn't an eyesore, I hope.

    Thank you

    She is a very tame little snake, I hope I can get her started on some worms.
