Re: Buying a new snake

oooops...cut off my post before I was done....some odd stuff.... they have a pic of a wandering garter, have the scientific name right, but it says "Garder snake - wandering"... the checkered garters have the wrong name....and they are less than the normal checkered that just say "thamnophis ssp"....duh.....then theylist albino checkereds for 39, normals for 50????? then I found black headed garter snakes coniophanes fissidens. Did a google search, its a yellow bellied snake...no relation to garters....never heard of a tropical garter snake either....thamnophis marcianus preocularis...that is a Mexican species of checkered garter.... found these and others on the other snakes list....gotta wonder when they get names all messed up like that......
