So the compulsion has begun....

Hey Char! Does it ever bother you that Chris calls you "the wife" just curious!

Never really thought about it. It's kind of an English thing I guess. Sometimes it's "the missus". Just something people say here.... Could be worse. I just shout "Oi, Dibben" at him when I want his attention and tend to refer to him by his surname alot of the time.

What waking up with a snake, that nice morning breath, doesn't appeal to you?

It's more the slithering over you in your sleep thing. We have a cat for morning breath contributions.

There was one garter in the house this morning.... now there are five.

Love that garter snake math.
Sounds like you found George

[chris-uk]

George in disguise.
We'd picked out the 3 we had planned. Somehow we ended up with a 4th because Char thought it's colour and patterning was prettiest. I have to agree, the 4th has beautiful colouring, it's not one of the better eaters in the litter but I'm sure she'll catch up.
It was good to meet up with John. His garters were the only ones in Doncaster today, so many pythons, boas, kings, rats, and corns...

John - all 4 are settling in. We have one of the bigger 2 in with Binky. The other 3 are together and were active in their new viv for a good couple of hours, they seem to be resting now.

I'm struggling to embed images from my Picasa album... anyone else using Picasa and embedding them in a forum post? Attaching an image to a post looses quality.

Anyway, working around the Picasa problem, here's a pic of two of the new four:

And a link to it in my Picasa album.

I'm liking the reflections in this pic Shame it's camera phone pic, that would have been good taken with a proper camera.

The new guys seem to be a lot more active than Binky. Three of the 4 are in a tank in our bedroom, the other is with Binky. We've seen all 4 new guys out already this morning, Binky likes her bed in her cool side hide...

We think the darker one is female but they're a bit too small to be certain. She's our favourite too, she's called Eskarina (I'm sure Char will correct me if I've got the name wrong), and she seems to be the most inquisitive of the bunch.
I just went to check on them and I think they're all chilling in the warm-side hide, at least there was one head poking out of it.

[kibakiba]

Well, I call everything a "he" if I'm not certain of the gender .
I love the inquisitive ones, it's fin to watch them explore and check everything out.
