I hope your ladies will like him.

I'm sure they will.

I just gave him a pinky. He was pretty enthusiastic about it.

Natrix maura. It is roughly the equivalent of North American water snakes, only smaller and a lot less feisty. Like your water snakes, this little water snake also mimics venomous snakes. Nerodias mimic Agkistrodon, if I remember correctly, and Natrix maura mimics Vipera.

very nice
I'd never seen any
the natrix I grew up with was mostly mud coloured

So they are the natrix! I was confused by the talk of the vagrans in the midst of all that, and I was wondering why they looked so unusual for garters.
Guess you managed to work out all the bugs in getting them. Good to hear!
