thanks, this is an experience I've wanted to have my whole life and finally today is that day. Now the mother is wild caught from 5 minutes from my house and the babies I may put in the wild since it's illegal for me to even give them away free as pets I tried posting ad and it keeps getting deleted on kijiji. I don't want money for them. I just want them to either go to a good home or in the wild before it's too late . They are so cute I just want to keep them all lol

congrats i had the same experience today myself, although its not the first experience of this kind for me but it's many years since i allow my garters to breed so it feels like the first time . the negative is that my kids have left school so it will not be so easy to find local kids to encourage to get into snakes but the positive is any i don't give away i can sell to the pet shop to affray expenses

oh nice congrats yeah since mine are native I can't legally sell them nor give them away, yet if I release it and you catch it that's legal. So I'm tempted to find a way to post an ad indicating where I will be to release them so some can come and get a lil friend for free. I feel so bad releasing them in the wild for some reason. They are from here yet I feel like I'm being a bad parent lol Only 30% make it to live to their second year

Now I know why there aren't any postings on kijiji! I would so be willing to buy one from you if you were closer! (I'm in Toronto). I've been looking for a garter for quite a while. I've just found a checkered adult (after months of searching!), but would prefer to watch a baby grow. Any chance you'll be around here in the near future?

Ps. I created an account on this forum just to reply this thread. Lol.

nice lol and welcome. I will be back in Toronto but not before they likely are older I've let close to 100 babies go in the last few days and I have one more litter on the way this time it's my orange phase eastern garter. I am likely going to keep a few of those babies and see if I get lucky and get a really really bright orange one. I'd just give you a few free if you were here in Ottawa. I expect the Mom to pop babies any day.

Wow 100 babies! So close but so farrr. The pet store's selling the regular checkered for $59.99 and the albino for $69.99 (+tax!). I should just use that towards gas money to Ottawa.

Congratulations!
