Stefan's garters

Looks like for the most part they are putting on some size.
Do you know what's going on with the shrinking male vagran? Has he been off food for awhile?

He was off-feed for a very short while, but that's not the reason. The only change in the diet, has been towards more mice and less fish. I suspect that something was different when I weighed him last time. He might have been close to shedding and I definitely remember him defecating relatively soon after being weighed. With one of my females, the difference a few days before shedding and a day after, was around 20 grams, if I remember correctly.

This time, it was relatively soon after he had shed (not even halfway through a cycle) and it was an entire week since any of the snakes had eaten.
