They are baby garters!!!!!! All were born within the last two weeks or so.

How do you feed them? Chop up some salmon, tillapia, worms, pinkies, etc. into tiny pieces and let them have at it!

Hopefully, they won't need tiny guppies, I don't really like feeding live fish. Seems to make switching them to Frozen Foods much more difficult, but, you do what you have to do. :)

The lot includes Blizzard Plains (pink, with ice blue to light lavender striping and checkers), Anery Plains (blue-black with dark blue striping and checkers), a Flame Eastern (red on the lateral and ventral sides), and a Cali-Red-Sided.

I can't wait to get babies from my own snakes now!!!! If these are 1-2 weeks old, I can't imagine what the neonates look like!

Here are some shots of the girls. Included are an Anery Plains, a Blizzard Plains and a Flame.

Macro is the only way to get these guys! Actually, I used my Wonder Woman powers, and used SUPER Macro! They're in a ten gallon tank. Look how small they are compared to the little lip of fascia on the tank and the caulk line!

This is great. I didn't realize garters had so many morphs.

Some are different species or subspecies, not just morphs
