Hello all from (at the moment) Vermont. i have had a few garters in the past. I live in Oregon but im spending the summer in Vermont. I im Flicker's daughter. 11 years old. just a few days ago i cought a orange striped garter. (view flickerfriends wc for a pic) Wich promptly bit me. i tried to arrange my hands as not to let it bite again.. did i succeed? Nope. it bit me again. when i finally got it into a position where it could not bite me. i ran to get help from an adult. when it was safely in a cage i admired it. it looked like a male. but then i looked at a pic from a snake that recently gave birth and it looked exately like mine!:O now i im pondering the gender and possible gravidness. :P Well go figure. i was so certan in the begining that it was male a hardly considerd gravidness. Anyways. the piccy the flicker sent isnt all the good but i'd appraciate it if you looked anyway. thanks!
