Melanistic Plains garters
Hi all,
Just was cruising around the web, on the look out for snakes, and noticed a guy on Fauna Classifieds has CBB baby melanistic Plains garters for sale. Can't say I've ever seen them before, guess they pretty much look like any other of the melanistic garters. Anyways, I'm checking to see if they actually are T.radix or not, but they're not very expensive, so thinking about picking up a pair. Just thought I'd let everyone know in case someone would be interested.  Roy

Re: Melanistic Plains garters
Hey Roy,
Iīm pretty sure that those animals arenīt melanistic plains but normal melanistic easterns. Especially if you have a look on those ads of the same guy: FaunaClassifieds Ads - Gravid female eastern Plains Garter snake - Powered by PhotoPost Classifieds FaunaClassifieds Ads - Melanistic Eastern Garter Snake. - Powered by PhotoPost Classifieds Seems to be just a confusion about the right names of the snakes. Best wishes, Daniel

I think we're already getting more than enough snakes this summer I know you want them all and on some level so do I, but . . . when you help more, then we can consider more critters
