My New garters

Well I've finally been able to expand the garter family. I picked up some Maritimes from Ben (aka:vwsrcool)...don't know the sex, but hoping for a pair. Also this past weekend I got a pair of "blue" garters at the Hamburg show in PA. They were sold as blue T.ordinoides, but think they might be blue T.s.pickeringi. Will have to wait for their first shed so I can do some scale counting. I'm hoping they are T.ordinoides...it'd be cool to have a non-sirtalis garter. So with out futher ado...here they are.

One of the maritimes....


the other maritime..love the kind of pinkish hue they have, wonder what they'll grow up to be???


and an over head shot to see the patterns on them....very happy with them, even though they're not the nice green maritimes I've been looking for.

Re: My New garters

Now the blues...first the female, she's got tons of colour, but is a bit more greenish



and the male, he's got a lot of blue on him, can't wait to see what he'll look like as an adult



....now what else do I need?????
