I have been busy this summer with corn snake hatchlings and was anxiously awaiting the birth of these garters. In the end only one of my 3 females was gravid - which did not surprise me since the male was very small and ran from all the other females except for this one! In all there were 12 babies 2 of whom never made it and 5 still have openings from where the yolk was attached but I am hoping that a few will close up well. Here are a few photos from their birthday - yesterday!
