Baby Red-Sided Garter Snakes! 

We got Baby Red-Sided Garter Snakes! The species and subspecies of garter snake is Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis, not to be confused with the California Red-Sided Garter Snake, Thamnophis sirtalis infernalis. This is the first year my garter snakes have produced offspring. The babies are beautiful! In this video, I will show you the process of collecting, counting, and housing the baby red-sided garter snakes.
