2017 California Red Sided garter...special story.

[Albert Clark]

Never give up, never surrender! Great stuff, Albert.

Thanks John. I kept saying to myself " this guy is too handsome to lose". I was amazed when he started taking sliced salmon pieces from my hand as I held him.

Such a cute little worm

Thank you Sau, all of this litter was really cute. The mortality of some is still a mystery. The dam had 24 babies and 12 didn't survive. I do have some hypotheses on why, to help prevent it in the future.

He really pops , I'm glad you got him going. How has your overall experience been with the garters?

Thx B! He was hard to get going but I guess the will to survive won out. My experience with garter snakes is amazing and I have several new projects with them coming soon.
