So, it only took almost 2 months... But I finally got around to getting some decent tail pics. Would one of you wonderful folks mind helping me sex this baby?



S/he has settled in very well! Hasn't grown as much as expected, and has only shed once for me--but I think that's my fault. I'm used to feeding my hatchlings every 7 days! It's still brand new adjusting to the garter metabolism. S/he weighed 5.5 grams the other day.

Come to think of it, I think I neglected to ask before. How often is ideal to feed a garter of this size? Does prey item affect frequency.. i.e. more often for nightcrawlers, less often for pinks? I've mostly been feeding pinky parts, but the last few feedings have done nightcrawler chunks every 3 days.. Easy to remember, when you have to chop them up every couple days for the skinks!

Here's a pic of him/her before getting fed today...
