Now is anyone good at telling how old baby Garters are. Its something I've always kind of wondered about, she wasn't that big when I took her in,

This is one of the first pictures I took of her and consider one of her baby pictures. The tiles in this pic are 4x4 inches for size reference.

Can you tell us how big she is? Can you measure her?

[EasternGirl]

Also...do you know for a fact that she is female?

[InsanePirateDragon]

I'll try and get a measurement of her tonight when I get off of work tonight. I haven't tried to measure her since I first got her set up.

Do you know for a fact that she is a female? Has anyone sexed her? If not, if you could take a picture of the underside of the lower part of her tail...holding her straight...so that we could look at her vent, we can tell you if she is female. The vent, if you don't know, is the little indent that you see in the lower part of the underside of her tail. We need a close up.

I believe she was sexed as female but heres some more early pics, not long after I took her in so you can see farely fresh wounds.

What are your temps and humidity at? Just wondering, some of her scales on her belly look odd to me.

No doubt, it's a female.

[EasternGirl]

Yep...female. Kat...you did read about the fact that she was attacked by a cat? She has wounds that healed and scales that are missing.

I saw that, but the scale I can see in the second vent pic looks different than an injury it looks more like a scale that is too dry.
Willow had them when we found her in the heat of summer. We had to treat the area with antibiotic ointment and make sure her humidity was right. They are healed now. That's just what it looked like to me though.
