False alarm this morning, her tail raised and.....she pooped.

You know what they say, a watched pot never boils.

yup...... do you have any time that you really want her to have babies though???

Hey Lumpy, your going to like this... Your gal looks like a Flame! (not a high red or super)

Since Eastern garters have such varied colours, the term "Flame" is simply a description, red sides and white dorsal (Most common with WC) and those can vary from hints to strong colours.

Maybe you will get lucky and produce some surprising babies!!

Best of luck..

No, not really Shanley. I'm anxious to see what's in store tho!

Wayne, Zephyr told me that her coloring is kinda specific to some Garters in Michigan. But, yup, she does have orangish coloring on her sides.

There's a distinct difference between flame and Northeastern color phases. The flame carries the color on the scales themselves as well between the scales; the Northeastern phase simply has the coloration on the skin between the scales with a small bit overlapping onto the scales themselves.

Now that is some great information!! (I have my fingers crossed with the baby that cost $100 from Scott Felzer)

Would you call this WC (I found it in my back yard) a flame? (Scott told me it's a flame)

I would need a good close-up pic of the side of the snake's body to determine.
