My mom once placed a gravid female garter in a wicker hamper, Mom was a child at the time, 1953 or something like that.

The snake gave birth, the babies fit through the weave, and my Grandmother went ballistic.

Both Grams and my Mom are passed on now, that story had been told to me many times over the years.

So my passion for these animals may be a genetic thing

Then last week, I read about someone here with a wicker hamper story, I immediately thought of my mom.

Mom was very helpful when we started out with Xena, and she helped with Xenas mate Speedy, unfortunatly Mom passed away about 8 weeks before any babies were born.
