My new garter(s)

thanks for the replies! she is a concinnus, yes? may be a stupid question, but the bold stripes on her sides confuse me. they are LTC and i was told they came from oregon. like i said, the male looks just like her, so maybe they're just dimorphic?

easterngirl, that's the plan! good variety of diet. as far as bedding, i'll probably put a bottom layer of newspaper and then add some carefresh on top for them to crawl around in. thanks for the advice!

They could be a concinnus from the photo you posted. The pattern looks right to me, but I'm not 100% on the redsided species. I thought the concinnus had a brighter red head though, so they could be parietalis... There's a lot of members who are more familiar with these species, so you'll soon get a positive ID.

Varied diet is the way to go.
