Did you put them in brumation and if so, how long and at what temperatures?
You keep them very warm or not in their terrarium?
What is your main food?
I did have one pair breed this year and two females had litters last year. I attributed thisbyears failure to the fact that one pair was only 2 years old and still a little on the small side.

I do not brumate but my garters are in tanks in a basement that has an ambient temp of 60 - 65 F in the winter. They are individually housed and have under tank heat and light bulbs when needed. They are all on frozen rodents. And I feed throuout the winter but my wild caugh male does not eat usually in winter.

It seems people have had problems breeding these in the past. I guess I have just had dumb luck! I get small litters 4- 12, and have had a fair number not make it at birth or that I have given away to Wayne who has a good source of food for them.
