Ekohs first shed coming soon

[guidofatherof5]

He garters can be that way. Nothing like the females in most respects. I think the females come out looking for food, then stay for some social/exploring time.
The males are like "If you don't have food or a lady for me leave me alone"

yea most of them time. when the power was out last night i have a Brunton headlamp i got from drinking to much mt dew,anyways it has a green led and when i used that he barely noticed me came to the glass flicking his tongue and roaming around. is the green light anything like red light as in can they not see it, or just not very well

also i went out last night and grabbed a good bit of moss from under the neighbors bushes and sprayed it a bit and set it in his old smaller water dish and he LOVES it. im going to need to get some more for him probably need to just go buy some lol

well i just to check on all the garters and see if i can get any of the newer ones to eat and hopefully get them all eating the same day. well Amaunet finally took some food about 1 1/2 worms today so thats good but i went to check on Ekoh i figured he would be starving by now, but i dug him out of his aspen tunnel and he is blue again and would not eat this time. as soon as he sheds this time i will get a new pic of the tail wound which should look much better

well Ekoh just shed 2 days ago and the new girls just shed maybe 10 minutes ago. Ekoh looks like he scraped it a little bit during the shed but i will get pics soon. Now the new girl, im not sure what to say, ive never seen markings like it before.





and what i mean is her "spots" are small and her dorsal stripe is the only one you can really see the ones on the side just "blend" into the ventral scales she is mostly green but her spots are a brownish red color. i need to take her outside with a good camera to get some good shots of her and the weird coloring. im so suprised how much that shed revealed on her

the last set of pics i posted are of a female i just found a few days ago i was wondering if she was a garter or not but im thinking so because i cant find pics of anything close other than dekay which she kinda does but doesnt lol

[EKS56]

Yeah it's a garter. Some kind of Eastern.
