weird.... I've never really noticed a trend like that before... all my litters have been pretty even and I keep my females very warm during gestation.


having said that, I think all of this stuff is a good idea, except for the part of removing a few SF garter snakes from the wild every few years to replenish captive populations. I don't think that any more should be removed from the wild. The ones that are being squished on the roads are losses enough.

Having said THAT.... I truly believe the SF garter is doomed.
