Let's just say elapids in general.

You've been watching the videos on YouTube, right?

No, my PC doesn't seem to like youTube (always freezes up). I speak from experience.

Why gartersnakes?

They were, some 35 years ago, my first snakes I fell in love with. And your first love... you know what they say.

On my job I take care of all kinds of reptiles etc, like Pantherophis, Lampropeltis, Pythons, Boa's, Monitors, Iguana's, Caimans, Mississippialligators, etc. etc.
But nothing beats the garter snakes when I come home.

I agree Fons, over the years I have cared for countless species of reptiles, but there is something very special about Garters. They weren't my first snake, but they will always be my favourite.

They were the first snakes I owned...(20 years ago...) and at the time I was looking for something I could handle, and something that wouldn't get too big so that I would be scared of it........and then I found out that there were more types......different colours...different behaviours... oh I was off
