Hello, I'm sorry this is probably not in the right section. If there is a better one please move it :)

I have been looking at California garter snakes. They are beautiful and I would love to have a nice planted tank with a vibrant little guy like these in there. I cannot seem to find breeders who seem to still be breeding them. Can someone point me in the direction of an active California garter breeder(s)?

Here is what I am looking for.

PS I am currently in the U.S.A!

Scott is seemingly no longer in the trade. You run into to others selling them every so often. I bought my T.s. infernalis from Jeff and he is a stand up guy producing incredible snakes.

Just be sure your state allows them. California does not allow them as pets because there are few in the wild? At least I remember reading that somewhere.

Go to Thamnophis.com, It is the sister forum to this forum and it is just about Garter snakes.
