Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
huge head on that little guy.
If I may ask, is it just me or do none of those mice have feet? is that to reduce the risk of choking?

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
Is there a difference between eastern black necks and texas black necks? Was trying to research texas black necks but kept getting eastern black necks. Love those scotti too. Was drooling over those on scott felzer's page. Really interested in garters and am seriously considering one for my next acquisition. I really seem to dig most wild type colors over morphs. I love axanthic and melanistic garters too, though.

The feet break off in shipping. The pinks are frozen so cold that they become brittle.

Eastern black necks have the bright colours like the ones I keep.
The other species of black neck is rather drab by comparison.

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
Yeah it looks like the Easterns are what I'm looking for. Quite obsessed with them in fact haha. Maybe end of summer. I'll snag one after we move, if I can find any for sale.

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
Would you recommend a female for those new to garters? I've had a few wily colubrids in the past, mostly northern water snakes for the summer but I was younger and dumber and I would rather go nice and steady next time around.

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
What is the general attitude of Garter snakes? I can see myself with a bunch of colorful snakes if they are placid and like to be handled. Are there temperament difference among the Garters?

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
Personally I don't handle my snakes a lot, but if I were to recommend an easy going snake, I would say that either a female radix, female Eastern (Sirtalis) or female red sided are the calmest.
Thamnophis Elegans Vegrans (wandering garter snake) the males are really calm as well.
That Melanistic wandering I just got is a "puppy dog tame" snake. He even eats from my hands while being held.

May I ask how come? As for me I can't wait for my snake to wake up so that I can handle her. Sometimes I skip a day or so depending if she ate, sheds, or I'm busy.

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
Stress, I should imagine. I don't generally handle mine a lot either. Looks like mostly female. Thats probably what I'll be looking for then. I don't plan to handle a lot but I'm looking for a nice easy intro to cbb garters. thanks!

The easy answer is I just have too many snakes, but I also feel that if the animal displays stress (musking, trying to flee, biting) it's better to leave them alone.
Some of my favourite snakes are biters.

Re: Wayne's Garter Snake Photo thread
My girl "Copper" just had 12 beautiful babies.
The arrow points to an old injury, It has healed perfectly, but she has a chunk gone in her back leaving a big dimple.
I rescued her from a man who called me to remove the "big red snake" before he chopped it up. She was simply basking on his concrete step leading to the front door.
Her babies....
some other recent pics....
Hobo my "normal" wandering male...
"Muttley" the hybrid garter...
A copper coloured male, the picture is old, I found it while clearing obsolete files....
