My first garter

Steveo....I might wait until releasing her for at least a week or so. Cee Cee took at least four days to have three live young and then two weeks to pass 37 more stillborns. She may surprise you and have a few more live and you should watch her to make sure she gets anymore stillborns passed without complications. If she can't pass them for some reason...she could go septic. Congrats on the new babies and sorry to hear about the stillborns.

I'm actually thinking about holding her until spring. The place where I found her... I went herping there for a short time yesterday, the creek is bone dry and I don't know where the snakes have gone. I remember the exact log I found her under and I'd like to return her to that exact spot, but there's nowhere to get a drink in the area right now.

Steve, I'll try to get some pictures later. I've cleaned up and sterilized everything so I can feed my CB snakes today, but once that's done I'll go back with the camera.
