Eastern Blacknecks

Does not appear to interfere with her quality of life at all.

Here is that last one that refused to eat, what a change.

Having a whole group of these is awesome, thank you so much!!!

Gorgeous. Looking pretty strong in spite of the fasting. One of my favorite garters and one species I intend to get some day.

Extraordinary

How can they have such a gorgeous pattern and allways behave as such ugly beasts?
I´ve never had a calm specimen of those kind and quit keeping them a while ago.

Of these Eastern Blacknecks? or Garters in general...

My big girl Mojo is quite calm.

I´ve started keeping Garters about 20 years ago and want not stop for at least further two decades.

Wow she is a porker! I have two girls that are still here pending completion of a payment and I can not get them to accept anything that is not alive. aargh!

My girl Cheetah that died last year was a calm snake but my others are not. Then again I don't handle them that much. If they weren't so beautiful I am not sure I would still be breeding them! Their musk is the worst musk I have had the pleasure of experiencing!

That male baby I got from you this year is really calm by baby snake standards too.

I'm not really big on handling snakes, I like observing them through the glass.

Mojo was really skittish, but two years of getting fed outside her enclosure fixed that, if she wants to eat, she has to let me pick her up.

Quick update on the babies.

They are now eating XS pinkies scented with trout.

The male is for whatever reason growing much faster than the girls are, but thats fine, I can pair him up with Mojo next season.

New pics sometime soon.

I'm glad they are doing well for you. I am surprised that the girl with the growth on her eye is not bothered by it. It's very strange.

She died a few weeks ago, I'm not upset over it, she had a good life even if it was extremely short. I think that growth was malignant, it kept getting bigger, then she expired.

The other 3 are very vibrant and excellent eaters.

Very nice.
