It costs more to fly to Canada than the US? I didn't know. Yes, you would find more than red sideds. Radix also frequent the area, as do non-thamnophis species like the smooth green snake, northern ringneck snake, red belly snake, northern water snake, painted turtle, snapping turtle, and a whole plethora of amphibians. But since cost is more prohibitive, this'll have to be a seperate outing

As for collecting, while I realize with some species it's the only route to gaining them into captivity, I hope this doesn't become the main goal of the trip. Perhaps with a meeting of likeminded thamnophytes, a gathering of captive bred offspring for trade could also occur instead. Being premedatated, it might be easier to work out the permits too.

ooh, I might as well point you towards Field Herp Forum for a wealth of information on the subject. It's mainly a NA forum, and there are many NC members.

With sirtalis being the only Garter species found in NC, I doubt that collecting is likely to become the main reason for us to fly half way round the globe, but it might be nice to bring home a momento.

If the first meeting works out well, Narcisse might be a good target for our second get-together.

Yeah Reed, come with us. We need as many members as we can get. Where in England do you visit every year?
I like Ians' idea of using this as a 'swap-meet'.... if Terry (Stonyloam) comes I want some Maritimes!
