    sorta good news

    I was checking out my snakes to see if there were any signs of anyone having bred....my orange is probably gravid....I can feel lumps in her and she is starting to show. I think one of my red spots is gravid...thats the good news....bad news is I have seen no signs in any other snakes that they have bred.......

    Don,

    Sounds like you have more good news than bad.
    I'm sure your others will be "Gett'in busy" soon. Be patient.

    First comes the "Be-Gett'in busy" and then comes the "Be-Gatt'in babies."

    I apologize for the lame humor I just couldn't resist!

    Hello Don,
    you must not expect each female to be gravid each year.
    In wild garter population there´s only every other captured female gravid in June/July.
    And to give you a little additional hope I shall tell that I´ve had several clutches without any sign of maturity. And the season has just begun, so there´s a lot of time to become thick and maternal
    Allready waiting for the sommer
    best wishes bis bald Udo

    I don't expect all females to be gravid...was hoping for more than 2 tho....oh well....as I increase my number of adults this year, the percentage of females breeding next year should be higher. I have had an occasional one pop that didn't look gravid too!
