Re: My Avatar
I know a place!! But I'm BC... They eat everything over there.... You'll be walking then all of a suddn you hear the desperate cries of a helpless animal, and by the time you find it, a garter snake is half way up back... poor treefrogs... Next thing you know a fish is jumping on shore and... nope a snake has that one too... LOL! Nature at it's finest, just gotta find it. Good luck! Caylan.S.

As it has already been said, San Francisco garter snakes are the most endangered reptile on the planet, they are a federally protected species.
I don't know about availability in Canada, but anyone caught touching, killing or otherwise disturbing one in the US is committing a federal crime.
Not so long ago, a construction site in California got shut down, because a bulldozer ran over one.

I should have asked if you had any leftover from last season. What's a good size tank for a garter? We can take this to pm if necessary.

Why not start a garter Q&A in the Thamnophis forum, so everyone can get something from it.

Cause I am lazy today. It seriously takes a couple of days for me to start a thread. I will do it on lunch my break though.

Not sure how I missed all that... Wow what a shame... Thanks for the Info Wayne, I know how much it sucks to have to keep repeating everything lol. I'll still hold out hopes for one, probably still easier then an oenpelli python. Man I want a giant anteresia... Thanks again, Caylan.S.

I have some stuff, I will dig it up.
I am all for the conservation of that species.

I love those little guys, I won't give up on them any day soon.
Heck, I don't know too many other people who bulldozed their back yard just to make a wetland so the local garters would be happy and thrive.

Re: My Avatar
Thats wicked! The creek near me is only a 5 minute walk away, though my spots are around 30 minutes in... I would love to make my backyard into a creek like you have though, a little reservation for wildlife to enjoy. I envy what you've done with your life Wayne, I really do. Caylan.S.

Re: My Avatar
Well the creek has always been there, But the pond/wetland habitat is something I had done about a year and a half ago.

I just linked the thread. And Thank you Caylan.
