Our Albino Garter Snake Gave Birth!

Are you ready for this? It's something we've been waiting for for a long time. Come join me below and take a look. Oh, it's dark down here. Take a look here. It's not that one. There are babies almost everywhere you look. There are leagues for babies.

snake

s, they've even done it up here on the branches like, how did you get all the way up? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, look, they're even in the lips of the cave this biggest

albino

plaid

garter

is the mom the proud mom her name is fatness everdeen in case you don't know already there you are honey yeah you just want food, no, I don't give you credit for these babies that she

gave

birth

to, she usually gives

birth

inside her humidity box, but this time she

gave

birth, I think underneath.

Look how wet it is down there, oh, there's a baby right there, actually, and I saw a different one's face, there you are, hey honey, no, I'm not going to feed you right now either, go away, I don't have food, everyone has One thing on their mind right now is that you can barely tell it's feeding night, so just like with the group of

snake

s we had earlier this year, let's tear up the tank. Basically, this is a good excuse to clean the entire tank bed to check everything out little by little to find each baby and we'll see how many we have.

No, no, I don't have food. Just stop saying you ate earlier today. In reality, you have no excuse for being hungry. Here is our red side of California. She gets along with everyone and looks amazing now with

garter

snakes that will hide in every nook and cranny, so we have to look into every possible little notch they can squeeze into to make sure we don't miss anything. I knew you'd be hiding there hello beauties there's one oh there you are. I knew there was one more adult here. This is Prius, our hybrid garter snake, come here.

Hey, yeah, you're not a baby. You go with all the other ladies. always forget how small they are when they are first born okay, where did you go? They disappeared oh, here's a stillborn oh yes, yes, it looks like we have a stillborn, there's something moving here, there, you're so tiny, here go with your brothers and sisters for now, what's going on? How did you sneak in there? Oh, you are small. Oh, we have one here that's a runt, so this one is already molting. Snakes will molt very soon, almost immediately after birth. Since he is already molting, yes you are active, but you are so small that you are about half the size of the others, so the runt may not make it, but we are going to soak them to help him get out of the shed and will.

He watches what happens oh yeah, wait and go, come back no, you tried to escape, good try, oh well he's on your side now he's got two more. Now I've decided they need a little more space because there are so many. we're getting better at the moment now let's put the adults back here first of all i'm proud mom here you have fat here you can go on your sunbathing platform here's our california red coming right back to the bottom this is our ribbon snake plane garter snake hybrid called prius, of course you are free and fair on the tube, next is our other

albino

checkered garter snake with a beautiful yellow stripe on its back, it can't wait until it is big enough to reproduce and finally this is a common garter snake. snake, this is twiggy, she is the snake here that I have had the longest, in fact she goes to shows with me now you can explore your surroundings like it's a new home guys, it's the same thing, only it's clean and in a kind of slightly different position no longer smells like us here are a couple of baby containers that I will prepare for the baby snakes and they slide right into a baby rack that I will show you after this although I use aspen fibers for adult snakes which I usually use or prefer paper towels as bedding, not only because it fits well and is easy for babies to clean, but I can also control their droppings a little better and can feed them a little easier. because since they're little and they're a little nervous, they slide all over the place, I just take the food and drop it or put it on the paper towel and I can feed them with tongs and then if they take it off the tongs, it's okay if They drag it across the substrate, it won't stick to anything because it's just paper towels, so it makes feeding the baby snakes a little easier, but when they get older I would recommend moving on to aspen fibers.

Add rocks to baby enclosures because then when they shed they may rub against the side of the rock and the rough texture will help the shed skin come off immediately. Then, of course, we have dishes with water and, for enrichment, some things with leaves, some twigs, just things. for them to climb because snakes love to explore and this foliage also makes them feel a little safer in their new environment, so these are the type of habitats that I will have created, in addition to these two of course. but I'll put several in each because they actually eat better if they're housed with their siblings instead of alone.

Now is the fun part where we can add the little babies to their new enclosures to see what they think, where they are. you're going to go yeah behind the cave they normally go behind the cave now that we have a couple of baby enclosures set up let's put them on the shelf here's the baby snake shelf the top half is a group of snakes bull that we just saw Born, those are Mr. and Mrs. Wilson's babies, Cheyenne, of course, thinks it's part of the conversation and the bottom three slots are the ones we're going to use for the garters because, how can they See, when we slide them in, there's a little bit of a gap right above where the container slides and that would be enough for the snakes to escape, but the bottom shelf, and this happens with a lot of shelves, the bottom shelf has the least amount of space. space because the weight is It's like pushing down on this shelf and this fits nice and flush so there's no chance for them to slip out.

Can you believe it? 29 babies, that's incredible, all from one mother, now she was big, but we weren't expecting 29, that's just crazy, babies. They are settled in their little mini baby enclosures for now and that is where they will remain in the community until they go to their new homes. We will offer food to these guys in about a week because it takes them that long to absorb the rest. yolk inside their bodies so that they have no interest in the food until they absorb it and then once they eat regularly, whether it be worms, mouse tails, paws or pieces of fish, they will be ready for their new homes.

There is a waiting list for these guys but due to the number of babies Fatness had I think if you are on the waiting list right now you should be clear if we have any extras after checking our waiting list I will put them on the reptile tab available on our website, which is simply Snakediscovery.com, so if you are interested in a baby albino snake, keep an eye on that page on the website. Snakes are one of the most underrated snake species in the world. pet world I think they make great pet snakes because they are very curious, will eat almost anything, don't grow very large, and come in all kinds of colors, not to mention you can house them together like we do behind us.

House not only the same species of snake together, but different species in the same enclosure if you do this, although make sure you only house the same sex in the same enclosure because you don't want any accidental claws from baby snakes, I mean, if If you want to breed snakes then go for it, but if you house different species together like we do, we definitely recommend housing the genders or sexes separately because if you end up with hybrid babies, sometimes they are sterile, whether the babies are sterile or the mother becomes gravid and develops babies, goes through the entire process, which is very labor intensive for the snake and then gives birth to stillborn babies, which sometimes also happens with hybrids, so we recommend not hybridizing snakes of liga due to the problems that can be had with sterilization. but again, by housing them together, we've found that housing snakes makes them calmer, makes them easier to handle, makes them better eaters, and I think that's all due to the fact that they're used to having other beings around them. .

We are not completely isolated from everything else, both snakes and humans, by having them together we actually added the California red side in the tank and when we first got her she was crazy, musky, attacking us, acting the defensive. constantly and she moved around when we tried to hug her and after her quarantine, that's why they housed her alone. After quarantine, we added her to the group of women in the tank behind me and within a couple of weeks she calmed down. down now we can handle her and she doesn't hit, no musky anymore, it's fantastic and now she eats well too.

I think the biggest reason snakes will communally soothe much of your home is because they are constantly rubbing against each other, like in the basking area or wherever it is inside the tank, and they just get used to it. that constant contact, so when a human touches them, it's not a big deal anymore, the only downside. Snakes, yes, can get a little musky, but with regular handling they calm down again. Babies can also be very fussy at first, so you have to be patient with them as they get older, they usually slow down, like this one is a really good size. handle right now, but overall they are amazing pet snakes, so if you're looking for something unique to add to your collection or you're just looking for a beginner, a good beginner snake, we recommend garter snakes, something very good about the league . snakes give live birth, there are no eggs involved at all, about 70 snakes lay eggs and the remaining 30 give live birth, like garters, well it's been a couple of weeks since the babies were born so I thought I'd give you a bit. update basically now I'm just trying to get them to eat their first meals and once they do I move them into this container and these are my babies that are eating and that's it, they will be ready first for their new homes and their food.

I've been offering pieces of worms. I'm also giving them mouse paws and tails. You know, when you buy a bag of stuffed animals or pinkies, there are always those pieces at the bottom of the bag. These guys love to eat those they are going to eat. The first meal, come on, looks delicious. Babies like the way worms move. It catches their attention. They love the way they smell. This is a great baby food for snakes. However, worms are not a complete diet, so I try to get them to eat others. things too, oh look at you, you're delirious, your little baby, put it down, that's it, sweet, there goes the first email, now that you've eaten, you can come in here, promotion, good job, buddy, so that's basically it what I'm doing with him, there are babies until they all eat and then, since they eat regularly, they go to their new homes and we're going to see how the dwarf is doing, although the dwarf is here, he hasn't eaten his first meal yet, but look , it looks great, it doesn't fill me up.

The water dish every day because sometimes he puts this corner like somehow in the water dish it absorbs everything and I don't want the humidity to get too high, so I fill it every other day. Hello friend, I also feed him. him after the water dish has dried up because sometimes that makes them more likely to eat their food if they're a little thirsty so let's see if little rut eats hey buddy I'll be back I'd love it if you wanted to eat. oh you're so small look look how small it is oh my god okay let's feed you this this would be the perfect size for you come on can you eat it oh it's your turn sorry oh oh Oh my gosh, yeah, great, go.

Get it, you got it, okay, the little dwarf is eating, that's very exciting, good job, little one, I'm proud of you, in that case, he might have a good chance, in that case, because he already pooped once, that shows that things are happening to me. The camera doesn't want to focus on him because he's so small and he's eating, that's great now. I know that many of you will of course be interested in the race. I'm going to give it away for free to a good home, but I do. I already have a house ready for him, so I'm sorry, but I promise you that he will be very well taken care of in his new home.

Sorry I'm trying to focus on him but you're so small my phone doesn't want to focus on you but it's great to see oh I'm so glad he's eating fantastic and anyway that was his first meal too . Wish us luck with feeding 29 more baby snakes, uh, 18 baby bullsnakes, and we have Seven 27 more baby bullsnakes that will be born in the next few weeks. Wish us luck and see you next time.
