    Baby Garters and a BIG surprise!

    Well last night my Female Eastern gave birth to 13 babies 7.6 and I actually found what looks to be a Granite Eastern Garter in the clutch! It looks completely different than all the others. She lacks head pattern. instead of black it is brown Faded into brown. Does anyone have pics of unusual garters?

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    I just looked at the normals next to the unusual female. She looks to be a hypoish snake

    Hi David! I caught this female two summers ago



    she did have 5 babies but none of them ever made it. I have her slated to breed this coming season. two of her babies appeared to be a bit lighter and with that same similar dark streak on their heads as mom. I just recently caught a baby male eastern that has a pale appearance with a black streak on his head. We will see how he turns out!

    post some pics of your little baby!!!

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
