cool, love checkered garters. got a pair of females myself..will hopefully be getting a male this summer.

i thought it was a checkered but got told it was a northen so i stuck with that, glad i no now. i took it to be probed last week but they said it was too small (16-18inches) so i am not sure of the sex yet but when i no i will be getting one of the opposite sex.

yea...a lot of pet store people don't know their species real well.... It is big enough to probe...but make sure whoever does it knows what they are doing so they don't injure the snake. If the one guy says it's too small...best to avoid him for probing the snake.... better safe than sorry

You're in the Midlands aren't you, Chris? There are some good reputable dealers/breeders in your area who could help you. Failing that, ask at your nearest zoo, they could sex it for you, and maybe teach you how to do it yourself next time.

Hi Chris where in notts are you? Im in Notts as well and i know a really good shop in sherwood, on Mansfield Road called Nottingham Reptile Centre, the guy who runs it, Ash, really knows his stuff, he should be able to probe it for you for free. Hes done several of our snakes and always been spot on.
