Hello hello!

Hey everyone, I'm a longtime/renewed garter fan. I just acquired my first garter since about 96, and this little girl has just reminded me how awesome garters, ribbon and brown snakes can be.

I only have one at the moment; a large, common garter. And I have a sneaking suspicion that she may be pregnant. But, that's for another thread isn't it? Anyway...

I'm a freelance writer, I dabble in the martial arts and I volunteer as a 4-H shooting sports instructor. As you may have guessed, I spend the remainder of my free time playing with snakes and other critters.

Looking forward to posting here! =3

Hi Hannah, and welcome aboard. It'll be interesting to hear how the pregnancy progresses. How did you acquire her, and what makes you think she's pregnant? Kind regards,
Rick

Hello Rick, nice to meet you.

I got her, (along with a young male) about four months ago. They were both wild caught from a friend.
Unfortunately, the male died about a month and a half ago after mating with the female almost constantly.. The female is hale and hardy. She's alert, active and her appetite has gone through the roof, and she looks plump. Since she's been eating so much, I haven't handled her, (trying to avoid regurgitation.)… Oi, I do have a lot of questions.

Pregnancy just occurred to me today, so I've been searching the web for info, and there's not a lot. This forum is a very welcome find..

Welcome aboard!

Sure is well represented, although I'm still waiting for somebody else from my country to show up. Would be good get to know some local garter enthusiasts.

Howdy and welcome to the forum. That's very cool about your garter possibley being prego. Even if you lost the male, maybe he was able to pass along his genes into the little ones. You'll have to post some pics of them when and if they're born.

PS...What martial arts do you practice?, I have belts in Tae Kwan Do and Tang Soo Do and also do a little Crav and Jujitsu.
