thanks! She does seem a lot different than my first baby garter. I went through old photos and realized Monty was almost this size at a year old and I definitely got him as a wee one. Glad you held onto the checkered. Nice find.


My kiddo almost stepped on her because she was basking on the sidewalk, then the chase was on and the snake was caught (why my child didn't just let it be can be explained by genetics) and the snake latched onto a finger and wouldn't let go LOL. So in comes my very excited 17 year old with a small snake attached to a finger smelling all musked and nasty with a big grin on his face.
