Garters at our local expo :-)

Here were the only garters I saw at our local reptile expo today-- and I WANTED THEM lol!!!!!!! They are BEAUTIFUL, I think, but a little pricey (probably just pricey for me). I kept going back to them but I am getting Reed's ribbon snake and his red sided, :-), so I was a good girl and walked away...



I did spoil myself with two other snakes and will post about them in a minute as I'll be needing help!!!!

Re: Garters at our local expo :-)

I know how you felt, Lori. I was at an Expo here yesterday myself. I vender I know had a trio of Garters for sale. Two looked like Texas Garters. He was up front with me and said they were a cross between Checkers and Texas. Great as they looked, I had to pass. Bright red dorsal strips.

Wish I had. That's a species not pictured in our care sheets as yet.

I didn't know they were that much! I hope California allows commercial breeding one day
