Wild Flames in Manitoba!

[thamneil]

I have been looking to aquire a pair of flames forever! I was under the impression that the closest they ranged to here was Quebec. Well they are closer to home than I thought. This article also proves that Manitoba is home to both T. s. parietalis and T. s. sirtalis. Something new pops up everyday!

Thanks for posting it.

Thats pretty crazy snakeman. Apparently the native people of thet area knew about these snakes far before anyone else. Hard to believe that they were being bred already. You wouldnt happen to know of anyone working with flames in Canada would you? And yes, I get very excited when any reptile is in the news!

Other than Charles I don't know.I am thinking it's illegal.You may be able to catch one yourself.But breeding and selling may not be allowed.Check your local laws.

Whats the story with Dr. Blais? I heard he produced the best flames.

Hmmm thats too bad. It really is a shame that it is so hard to get garters in Canada.
