Yup. Sometimes they have many more than this so if you're not expecting it you can walk in and find a dozen or more babies in your cage....though they're quite small so perhaps they'd be out of the cage if you weren't expecting it.....

Oh how gorgeous. I love garters, a red checkered was my first snake. What type is that one? Albino, I would guess, but what else?

And the tiny ones are CUTE.

These are albino checkered garters. I purchased them to sell at a show, but then decided I liked them enough to bring them in to our collection. I'm glad I did. They've turned out to be much more enjoyable than I had originally suspected. Now I'm eyeballing a few more morphs.
