Hi everyone, I have two very young male pugets that I love so much (been with me for almost a month now). Mine are a bit skittish and can be quite fast, especially when removing them from their enclosure. After reading other posts here, I will definitely be purchasing a tank with front doors for their next "larger" enclosure so I no longer have to reach down and get them (which may make them feel threatened). As a first time owner (a newbie to the hobby of keeping garters), I am very happy with my pugets and would recommend them! They are simply cute as a button!

I have a question to ASnakelovinbabe and other puget owners... At what age or length do Blue phase pugets start to develop their blue coloration? My males are 10 to 11 inches long with a mint green (bluish tint). Is it safe to assume they will be this color (more greenish) as adults or is it still too early too tell?

1st pic below is of one of my males who is now plumper due to a good appetite and 2nd pic is their tank. Although difficult to see him because he is so small, you can spot one of the snakes resting on the leaf. ;-)
