Albino T.s.parietalis on the Ranch

Yay! Go Creampuff!

He appears to be back to normal. He ate an additional worm last night and one this morning.
He's back in his enclosure awaiting the females.
I felt he was a little under weight when I put him in brumation and only gave him a month in.

All my Red Sided garters are eating and eating well.
My large female(new to the ranch last year) is in opaque. Hoping once she sheds to see some breeding action out of my albino male. So far he's shown no interest in any of the 3 ladies he's in with.

Good luck Steve, take lots of pics.

I wish I had good breeding news but I don't. He has the pick of 3 beautiful girls and to my knowledge, no nothing (I know it's a double negative)
I'm not discouraged as the real breeding season isn't here yet.

The good news is, he's now a pinky eater (unscented).
All my T.s.parietalis are eating pinkies now.

aw, sorry to hear this, could the coloration happen afterwards? I know its unrelated, but mice often bleed around the noses after death, and from being slowly gassed not any sudden 'thwack'! its like once they die then the membranes seem to relax and bleed? (I am sure there is probably a more scientific correct reason) but could it be similar?

[BLUESIRTALIS]

Fingers crossed.

good luck!

Here's an updated photo of Creampuff, my albino Red Sided garter snake.. He's starting to fill out.
He was given a shortened brumation period this year because he was so lean when he arrived on the Ranch.
Still no breeding activity from him but I have confidence that he will do his job.
