I have an 06 female I picked up last month from Scott Felzer, pictured below. She's more of a lime green at this age, but I believe she'll turn more of the sky blue as she gets older. It's hard to catch her true color because of the camera flash. My female switched over to unsented pinky parts within her fourth feeding.
Post some pics of your trio when you get a chance. Puget Sounds seem to be very calm, curious garters. My 06 female crawls right into my hand.

hey Steve ... thanks for the reply. I will post some pics perhaps this weekend. I requested a yearling trio but it appears that I have a young adult female and 1.1 yearlings.
I'm not complaining at all just curious. Both females are bright blue even though they are different sizes. The male is lime green. They are super docile and great feeders. All wanted to eat as soon as they arrived. I fed them live fish in a bowl yesterday and threw some thawed pinks in with the fish. Each of them nabbed a pink in a matter of minutes ) They're actions seem to be closer to WC, meaning they'll eat whatever is in front of them once they are in feeding mode ... I do like these Garters very much ... a lot of fun )
