Natrix Natrix - Hit US collections

[infernalis]

Folks a bunch of CB Natrix Natrix - European Grass Snakes (The Euro version of Garters) have recently became available in US collections.

I am not posting this to make one red cent, But to allow the members here a rare (at the moment) opportunity to have a really cool snake for a very reasonable price.

I am purchasing one. The fellow that just hatched these out is a respected member on the garter snake forum. (owned by Hobby Solutions, same as ssnakess) where I also mod.

Julio is a good guy.

Anyways, he's only asking $15 per snake plus shipping to your door.

Anyone interested can either go to Garter Snake Forum (http://www.thamnophis.com) or simply ask me to contact him.

Here is what they look like, And care is identical to US garter snakes.

A few pix of the 2011 baby Natrix....they are awesome little guys...

A species native to the UK, and Shauny's bonnie Scotland, all the way into the Russion Federation. These animals are hardly ever available in America. I have wanted one for years!!

Awesome snakes.

I have never seen one in the wild though :(

[Gungirl]

I am sitting here..:confused: thinking of how I could get one of those. I have an extra 40 gallon tank but I know I can not. I would love to they are so freaking cute! :no: Gah maybe later on I will be able to but right now I know I can not. :(

[Jay]

Yet again I'm conflicted with distance... I've wanted one for a few months now.

[alessia55]

Woah there are a lot of those in that tank! And they're so tinyyyy

[infernalis]

Amazing isn't it?

Last week almost no one in the US could even find ONE and all of a sudden Julio has over 100 babies.

[Kayla90]

Bahaha that middle picture is someone worst nightmare :P

I would totally be up for grabbing one... if you were in Canada :(

[stephanbakir]

I'm not much for colubrids, but those things are damn cute.

[bushsnake]

@Wayne are you saying Julio hatched those?

[spots]

How would I find out how much the shipping to calgary Alberta would be?

[infernalis]

I'm not sure exactly how Julio came into those, But I'm not one to question.

I wanted a Natrix for years, never thought I'd score so cheap either, we are both in NY so he can get them to me for $20 shipping.

I'm amped over this opportunity.

I'm unclear about crossing borders with them.

[bushsnake]

These are c.b. imports from Poland, correct origin info is important

[infernalis]

Cool, they will fit in nicely here.

I am surrounded by.. oh nevermind.

[youngster]

Wayne are they nice beginner Thams?
I have a 15g high one or two would fit nicely in :)

[stephanbakir]

I'm unclear about crossing borders with them.
Are they a CITES listed reptile? if not you can just ship them over. Won't need to pay for CITES, just 239 for inspection (Be sure to bring a book with pictures to the border showing that it is non native, preferably one thats taxonomically accurate.

[KORBIN5895]

Hey all I am an hour and a half from the boarder and am seriously thinking about ordering one. If I can bring them across maybe I can ship them from inside Canada. Just a thought. Wayne will you pm me the contact info?

[infernalis]

No need to PM, it's a public ad.

I have some Euro Grass snakes (Natrix Natrix) for sale feeding on tilapia and Minnows...
$15 each PM me or email me @ jdohc1@aol.com or text/call 347-233-7497

[stephanbakir]

Actually, if they aren't CITES listed and you have under 2 non CITES animals, generally you can just drive across the border with them, as long as you claim them when they ask, and provide photographic proof that the animal is what you say it is.

X2 …Let me know.

[KORBIN5895]

Kk here is the deal. I will be going down before Christmas for a rat order. I have absolutely no issue picking them up for you guys. I am going to ask my wife for one as a Christmas gift. I have four boas atm and she is making re-home one so I may be able to talk her into one of these bad boys!

[snake man12]

Can they start eating rodents like scented. I'm really interested in one

[infernalis]

You may be able to coax them into it.

I will ask the more experienced (AKA European keepers)

You know, you are always welcome to join Garter Snake Forum (http://www.thamnophis.com) (I mod there too) and start a Natrix thread in the husbandry forum.

I keep both forums open in tabs simultaneously.

[Rogue628]

I'm guessing their hubandry is similar to their US counterparts? If so I'm interested in purchasing one if shipping isnt outrageous. I was just going to ask on here for recommendations on where to purchase garters as I'm ready to buy. Good thing I saw this thread first! I'd much rather keep something a little different. :)

[infernalis]

He's feeding them fish right now.

Yes, they are about just the same to care for.

[Rogue628]

Thanks! Just joined the garter snakes forum. What is Julio's screen name on there so I can PM him?

[infernalis]

Sirtalis01 he replied to you in the opening post.

[snake man12]

Yeah I joined and started a thread

[Kayla90]

:O Me too, me too I would like a pair.

[infernalis]

[KORBIN5895]

[stephanbakir]

That is a stunning animal.

[spots]

That is a amazingly good looking Snake.

[infernalis]

Holy wow! these things suck down the groceries, I have never seen a baby snake before that consumes as much food as these do, I think they are going to become rather large snakes for a Natricine Colubrid.
