gravid garter?

cochran Jul 27, 2008 11:51 AM

I have an adult blackneck garter I've posted pics of several times on here,just recently she has refused food(the last 2 feedings)and appears to be gaining weight.This girl has never refused food,I'm wondering if she could possibly be gravid from a breeding that took place before I got her.She has been alone since I've had her. Thanks! Jeff

I havnt bred alot of garters Jeff, but the ones that have had babies for me did refuse a couple meals soon before giving birth.
I sure hope she is gravid! Is she a wc blackneck?

It was actually sold to me as ac/b male! After lookin' at pics and seeing the obvious male that I got from you,I'm sure it's a female but,how it got gravid is the question.I think I got her in Feb. '08 and she hasn't been with any other garter since then! Jeff
