Re: Biggest Garters
I doubt you'd find T. gigas for sale. They only live in California and are currently threatened. The CA red sided is abundant, but the San Fransisco garter (T.s. tetrataenia) is on the California and Federal Endangered Species List. Here's a web page to give you some info about T. gigas. Cheers,

Re: Biggest Garters
I don't see a link. The San Fransisco garter is what I was trying to say (or thinking of). But aren't they illegal to own in the US without a permit or something?

Re: Biggest Garters
Oops. Here you go, and yes, they're illegal to own in the U.S. without a special permit.

Re: Biggest Garters
I wonder what my mom would do if my garter got that big. She is already telling me that if it gets two feet it's gone.

Re: Biggest Garters
That radix is indeed a monster!

Re: Biggest Garters
Hi Stan!
I think that is a Dekay's snake... but get a couple more opinions before you take my word for it, cause I am relatively new here too!
