My Checkered Garter

[Jlassiter]

I thought Wayne and others would like this little guy.... Last year while herping with my son we found this male Checkered Garter. My son insisted that I bring him home. When I kept checkereds in the past I used to have to go to the pet store and buy feeder fish for them.....But this little guy was a rodent feeder from the start. He was found in an area that had lots of rodents...... He's surely growing great....I need to find him a mate soon... http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a189/jlassiter/MEXICANA/IMG_3687.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a189/jlassiter/MEXICANA/IMG_3691.jpg

Just love the normals... This snake is far more handsome than an albino.

I agree Wayne...
And I think this guy is going into a shed cycle......
He's looking a little duller than normal....lol


Here's one I found years ago....

nice marcianus...their range goes deep into mexico and they have 2 other subspecies that you never see in captivity:(

That tongue picture is amazing!

There is nothing better than the playfulness and the attitude of a garter, both in captivity and in the wild.
