    Re: I did it! Expect photos!

    I know, right Steve? LOL totally spoiled already. And fat! But I was really happy to see them eat! Girl has eaten sliversides, and boy has eaten trout! I don't know if i wrote that and It's easier to type it again than check to see if I did *lol*

    katach...that's what I was wondering. And was planning same sexes together...just wondering, wondering at this point. Gathering info, etc : )

    Thank you!

    Re: I did it! Expect photos!

    I think it's nice to see a couple of different species in the same viv, especially if it's a home that has plenty of stuff to interact with and a couple of hides on each side.
    Our baby snake (although they are growing quick) viv has a checkered, albino checkered, and two western blacknecks. Next month when the blacknecks hit a year old the male will be moving in on his own, but the girls will all stay together. They don't show any signs of stress being together, and the blacknecks have actually calmed down a lot and are eating better since they joined the checkered girls. As the checkereds get bigger we may decide to take the blackneck girl out and on her own, that's a bridge we'll cross if we need to.

    Awesome! Does anyone else house garters together...and if so, which species? I'd like the widest range of responses...I figure majority rules *lol*
    Sorry if it seems like an old question to all you old timers ; )
    BTW I'm looking for name suggestions for these little chaps!

    I keep my northwesterns all together, but only same sex, or babies. I kept my concinnus with my northwesterns, also same sex. I had to rearrange some of my snakes, because a few got restles and refused to eat until one of them was taken out.

    When Steve answers that question you may be staggered at the numbers.

    Just a couple more

    Maybe I'll start a new thread for photos after this : )

    Here you can see a FAT female garter after a meal. The little male is hanging out below her. They love to lay all over each other. I am going to hate splitting them up soon. I need more garters to go with them! Girls in one tank, boys in the other : )

    They still don't have names...

    Updates!

    Hi all! It's been a while. Thought i'd post an update on my babies. I think there is another post around here about how i got two wandering garters, as well. But for now here are a few fat snake photos! (i think they are fat, LOL) not unhealthy, but i did lengthen the time in between feedings for these guys. Not sure when these guys will max out on size. Probably already have? I haven't tried burmation or breeding or anything. They are all unrelated, so the red sideds and the wanderings i did plan to breed some day. Cream, the anery red sided is the largest by far, however her mate Berry is the smallest. I worry for his safety because she is a pig! LOL
    What do you guys think?
