Is there any simple way of sterilizing snakes? No joke, it would solve the problem.

They are all found in the same area, Maybe they will come out Coast garters (T. elegans terrestris) .

Be crazy wouldnt it?

[Thamnophis]

because he does not want hybridized snakes leaking out into the public and what not... people will sell them as something they are not and they could end up poisoning bloodlines of snakes.

Exactly!

There are some people I trust who keep garter snakes and if they would want one, I might consider it, but it would be o difficult call. I have to be sure that they do not get used in reproduction again.

But first I have to wait if she is pregnant and if the young are okay.

[Thamnophis]

Okay, I have to ask. Wasn't it obvious that this would happen?

Yep, looking back it was.

But they were already a few months out of hibernation.
And never showed any matingbehaviour.
And the female already had shed close after the hibernation.

[Thamnophis]

well that's not very nice now. at least give them a chance at life!

Indeed, I do not intend to kill them when there is no good reason.

And I know my responsibility if it comes to it.

[Stefan-A]

Yep, looking back it was.

Point taken.

King Snake food.

Actually this is what I would do. Feed them till they are a bit bigger and then give them to my kingsnakes.

And maybe this (or something like this) is what is going to happen. Who knows.
But I first want to see what happens during the growing up.

im sorry but I think thats really wrong... they are garter snakes just like any other! we here being garter snake people, whether they are hybrids or not, they are still garter snakes and they still deserve to live out their lives! especially feeding them until they are bigger, and THEN giving them to the kingsnakes... that is just not right. I think it is wrong that the babies should have to pay for a human mistake of housing two species together (not pointing any fingers at you, just saying that in general).
