Expo Houten, Netherlands
Yesterday there was an expo from the European Snake Society in Houten, the Netherlands.
When I went home I was five Thamnophis-specimen richer At first I went to get the snakes I ordered in advance. To begin with this one... A second female Thamnophis sirtalis tetrataenia (so now I have 1.2)

Re: Expo Houten, Netherlands
This expo was only for snakes.
And for every garter snake there were at least 300 Panterophis/Lampropeltis present. Not to mention the ballpythons, Boa's and venemous snakes.

Re: Expo Houten, Netherlands
It's sad...not a lot of garter breeders out here.... We are having our annual reptile expo here in Utah this weekend. Eventually I am hoping to have a booth there, but for htis year I am working at the Reptile Rescue booth. Last year I saw about 5 garters at the expo...i bought a pair of young adult red siders and saw a couple baby plains garters. There was a guy that was sent to me...said he had an eastern that had about 25 babies andhe was looking to sell them. When I found the guy, he said he let the mother go....I looked at the babies, they were wandering garters, local snakes....what a goon! I let h im know they were local snakes and he left.

Re: Expo Houten, Netherlands
In Holland we have a few great Thamnophis-breeders and thanks to them there are garters on the bigger expo's.
The only garters I saw on the tables from general snake-sellers were some sirtalis sirtalis, two albino radix (?) and that was all. So, in Holland there are also not may garters presented.
