Post Breeders

Maybe a thread containing recommended breeders could help people that want more snakes or are looking at buying their first.
Kingsnake.com and Scott Feltzer's site are the only ones that I can think of.

Good idea, Matt.

Here are more sites that specialize in garters & misc colubrids. The first one is pretty active throughout the summer (FaunaClassifieds Ads - Garter, Water & Ribbon Snakes - Powered by PhotoPost Classifieds). Even though the next one is called a forum, people are just using it to advertise snakes (FaunaClassifieds - Garter, Water & Ribbon Snakes).

This third site doesn't specialize in garters or misc colubrids, but they normally offer T.s. sirtalis fairly cheap during the summer (Live Reptiles, Amphibians & Insects - Pet Solutions).

It'll be neat to see how active this site becomes when the young are born next spring

.

I like that second site you posted. But I'm surprised that when you sort it by popularity, garters are on the FOURTH page! Oh well

Since they don't offer different species/subspecies at that 3rd link, I don't think many garter enthusiasts give them a lot of attention. At the risk of stealing Don's thunder, I'm feeling a bit guilty about not recognizing one of our own breeders who has helped many of us ID our snakes (Welcome to Don's Garter Snakes).

Glade Herbs from Florida usually has some Thamnophis. I don't know wheather they breed any of them or not as many of the ones on the site below are wild caught. I have bought from them and was very satisified with the health of their snakes.

I can recommend breeders for those who live in Europe (Or should there be a seperate thread for it?). I only recommend someone that I already bought a snake from. They don't have a website, since I don't know if I can add more information about them for now I only add there names:

Steven Bol (THE best breeder in the Netherlands for garter's in my opinion)
Sabine & Gijs ( they are on the forum here

and their collection is still growing, but I can certainly recommend them )

I guess that everybody should say where their breeders are from (although it probably says on the site) for obvious reasons.

suzoo · 01-11-2007, 08:19 PM

I agree! I have been looking all over the net and cannot find but 5 breeders.

Hey Sue,
The kingsnake site that Matt was referring to in the first post is:
Kingsnake.com Classifieds > Other Snakes

Unfortunately, you just missed a large reptile show in St. Louis about 2 weeks ago. Good luck in the search,
Rick
