I want a garter snake :)

[Pogie]

Ok doing research on garters. I have decided I do want a garter snake
I've been looking every where I can reading up on them and I have an empty tank just calling a snake.

All I see around here are the albino ones, I am not a big fan of that particular color morph. So any info about heating lighting anyone can input would be greatly appreciated! I know what I've read here and there but would like input from those who actually have them.
Thanks!!

Well, if you don't mind dropping $200 there are some nice neon blue cali red sided babies available on fauna right now. I believe the seller is Jeff Benfir or something...I dunno. But that is ny dream garter right there!

Albert on here is a breeder as well and I believehe has some pretty nice babies now, and is expecting nicer ones soon.I'm sure he'll chime in soon =)

Hey Pogie, I have some beautiful female pastel checkered garters right now. 2 females. These girls are het for granite checkered and they will take just about any appropriate food you offer them. Pm me. If you are going to house in a tank, you will need a thermostat to control your warm side heating element. Typically garters are very easy to keep at temps of 78f - 82f average ambient and cool side. Their basking temp at the warm side can be 86f safely. Hides and foliage is alo pretty much required.

Thanks Mink, for mentioning me as a potential resource for Pogie.

Minkness, Jeff has a few neon blue CRS babies left if you move quickly. He even has a couple of unrelated male / female pairs.

I will have some Calif. red sideds later this year. Probably in the fall 2016. More than likely I will have some Oregon red spotteds in about 2 months. T.S.Concinnus (red classification).

As much as I want to, this house tapped me out. I will have to wait till next year.
