    Those orange guys are two San Francisco garters I bred last year. One is for sale and one is for a brother of me.
    In that particular terrarium live a number of CB garter snakes that are all about the same length. They all are to young to breed. The species that live in that terrarium are:
    2.0 T. s. tetrataenia (CB 2011)
    0.1 T. s. sirtalis (flame x melanistic) (CB 2011)
    1.0 T. s. sirtalis (erythristic) (CB 2010)
    1.0 T. a. atratus (CB 2011)
    1.0 T. fulvus (CB 2011)
    1.1 T. s. sirtalis (melanistic) (CB 2011)

    They all are between 30 and 40 cm, I think. They do well, living together. Next year their housing will be changed of course.

    what size enclosure are you using for them? I've been looking into garters mostly as I knew they could co habit well. I like the idea of having a few species that can live in the same environment. Again you've taken some amazing pics

    These are living in a terrarium of about 100 x 40x 50 cm for the time being. Other terrariums are 120 x 50 x 50 cm and than I also have all kinds of old terrariums from different sizes. The fireplaceterrarium is 180 x 100 x 50 cm (But is is triangular).
