i have a small oregon red sided garter and i am planning no trading it for a florida blue. you guys think that that is a good trade?

thanks

If you're happy, then it's a good trade!!

It depends on how big the florida blue is. Normaly the oregons are a little bit more expensive ( at least in Europe they are)
But like James said, when you have a good feeling about it than it is a good trade.

Good luck, Sabine

Yeh, Oregons (T.s.concinnus) do usually bring more at the shows and such around here......guess it really depends how nice a Fla. Garter (T.s.sirtalis) you're getting. I've seen some realy crazy looking ones at shows that would blow away any Oregon. In the end it's really up to what you want to work with.

I definitely agree with James! Having what you want is always better than having what you don't want.

My feelings exactly...the monetary value is irrelevant if you are happy with the deal, it's a good deal. If you want it, go for it.

Myself I would want to know things about the other snake, such as: approximate age, does it take rodents, and how does it behave when handled.
Personally, I really like blue snakes. I would want to have good colour.
Good luck with your trade.

Hmmmm....actually if your "him" T.s.concinnus is a "him" and your trade goes south, I may be interested in him. I'll be at Hamburg as well in April. How big is you T.s.concinnus? What's it been feeding on? Do you have any pics of "him" that you can post here, so I can get a look at him?

i was told by my vet that it was a male, he said it is kinda hard because he is so small....he is guessing about 7 months i dont have an acurrate measurment of him but he is pretty long, getting fatter

He is eating rosies, earthworms and the occasional pinkie. If you look for a thread in general garter snake called new pics there are a number of pics of him in there.

HE IS A GREAT EATER!!!
