Newbie found gravid(?) garter

[patcuz]

I'm going to try and keep her until she births. (What's the proper word?) Don't know if I can do the pinks: the same quality in me that picked a snake up and "saved" it for the comfort of a proper birthing experience, has a bit of a problem of handling pinks. Remember...I have a bunch of furry, yappy little dogs that I even dress up from time to time.
Warming? As in microwave? We'll see...at least I know she's not going to starve on me, she ate 2 goldfish right away. I'll try other crawly things. The worm I tried drowned by now. Maybe a big nightcrawler will work. Or scraps from the seafood restaurant...
Next big question please...the mesh top I am using was last used for a larger snake. A baby could probably get through. My plan is to watch the miracle of live birth, then promptly release all to my garden. Is it likely this momentous occasion may occur at 2 am, and 40 baby garters climb up the side of the 20 gal tank, through the mesh and into the silverware drawer? Sorry if this is sounding so dramatic here, but I am trying to cover all bases...

babies can stick to the glass when they are wet....chances are nothing will happen, but...better safe than sorry....
