Thank you Albert. We actually had an accidental breeding between him and my other elegans, our big girl Ella. Accidental might be a poor choice of words. We knew it was a possibility, of course, but after being housed together for 4 years and with no brumation the little squiggles still came as a huge surprise! Don from this forum took a couple and the rest were placed as pets locally. I haven't heard from Don in ages, but there are little Sly babies out there somewhere.

And yes, the garters are a much cherished part of our family <3
