San Francisco Garter snake

[ilovemysnake]

Anyone know a site where i can order one?

I'm thinking I'll get one of these beauties for my fiance for his birthday.

It wont be for a while (8 months)

I can't seem to find any of them for sale. Is there a reason for this?

Also, how much would a snake like this go for?

What part of illegal is confusing? Conserve and educate so the species as a whole can benefit, not so that you can have something pretty in your living room. There are plenty of other, very stunning garters that are legal to own.

Garters are awesome to keep, mine are always out and active! They always show interest in things moving around them, especially when they spot our cat lol

They are Thamnophis sirtalis Infernalis. California Garter Snake. Very nippy the species does not like handling.
