"I was home sick on June 14, 2002, so I was able to capture the birth of 42 red-sided garter snake babies. It was, to say the least, a messy process, but a fascinating one." picked by MissWinkle 5 months ago

interesting ... i thought only a few exotic tropical kinds of snakes give live birth.

my sister has a garter snake she stole from our cat a couple weeks ago. not bright red like that one, but it has gotten really thick since put in captivity, so i wonder ... then again, it's been given three earth worms a day since we got it.

Snakes! Why'd it have to be snakes!?

(cool, but when there got to be a lot of them it gets a little creepy...)

That's amazing. I've never seen a snake give birth until now. Thanks, MW!
