Some photos of wandering garters from Wyoming :)

Beautiful! I love her large spotting. Please post pics of her babies when she has them.

Our little baby completed her shed this morning. And she got a name... Ember. I have a feeling she will end up being a keeper. I redesigned her baby cage to be more natural and fun for her until I can transfer her to a better enclosure.

Really cool looking snakes. I like Ember's belly!

Where is dry land?

Her current cage is a Kritter Keeper, and I converted it to about 1/3 water, 2/3 dry land. I made a divider by cutting out a sturdy piece of plastic from an old shoe box tupperware. As you can see from the photo I used the rim section of the tupperware so that there would not be any sharp edges for her to rub on. I glued the divider in and sealed it. I placed a small ammount of gravel at the bottom of the pool side, and then filled the other side up with a layer of gravel, with some large smooth stones on top. There is an artificial plant and a piece of driftwood for her to climb on. The driftwood also creates a hide for her underneath. When I was taking the photos she was only interested in being in the water It's temporary, but she seems to like it. Heating is via lamp and I do feed her in a separate container.

Cool pics. She does appear to like the pool, maybe she's lying around in it waiting for a fish to appear.

Ember's colors seem to be getting brighter.

Wondering if I have her sexed correctly? Opinions?

We need to see the bottom/belly of the vent/tail area, not a profile.

I would say female. It is not what I would call an easy sexing. Very borderline call.

Thanks for the input. That is how I feel as well... I keep second guessing back & forth. "She" is growing like a weed. I am wondering how I went all these years without a garter? Lol.
