Vendors who don't know what they have...
How many times have you purchased a garter and found that the vendor has the species incorrect? This has happened to me several times.
Here is my favorite... I purchased the snake pictured below, from an online vendor who said she was a T sirtalis "flame". I was quite pleased when I got her,  but she ain't no flame!

Re: Vendors who don't know what they have...
You have to set this one on fire to become a "flame"
 Don't try that at home...

Re: Vendors who don't know what they have...
I'm not sure myself, but thought she was a CA Red Sided.
I'll try to get better pix and post them. She is getting to be an older snake now... I have had her several years.
