Hi, I'm new here

[Cazador]

Holy cow, Shane! Flames are a particular color variant (morph) of the Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis subspecies, and they're still fairly rare. That guy did you a favor cause "flames" are also pretty expensive. Garterguy gave you some really good advise. We've just started creating care sheets at this link (http://www.thamnophis.com/caresheets...itle=Main_Page). You might have a look in there once in a while because they're growing fast. Congratulations and best of luck with that little dude. It's a special breed!

OMGs!!!! You're kidding me! I can't believe someone GAVE you a Flame morph T.s.sirtalis.....they're at the top of my "I'd get them if I could afford them" list. Very cool! Hey the guy you got it from doesn't happen to be in the area and loaded down with any more "extra" flames????? That is really cool though, I really like the T.s.sirtalis and the Flames are just gorgeous snakes. If you do decide to come to the Herp Club meeting, you'll have to bring in your Flame during one of the warmer memeber's nights. The pres. of the club is a gartersnake fan and will just go nuts when he finds out you got yours for free! LOL

Hey Rick

Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to check out the care sheets.

and Roy

OMGs!! Not kidding you. I must have done something to please the Gods.
As for the guy having more, he does. Not sure if he's willing to part with them. Won't see him until Ostara I'll ask him then & thanks for the advice "Bloodshed" is enjoying his new setup.

Bloodshed.......very cool name. Definitely gotta get pics of him/her on here for everyone. Flames are just one of the coolest garter morphs. You'll have to take a pic of the new digs too, I always love seeing how other people setup there snakes. I was actually just kidding about him having more, but hey......if he does have more to part with let me know. Ostara huh, don't know if I can wait that long! LOL Well guess it's just a little more than a month and half away. Actually thanx for the reminder, I need to make sure I ask off for that in March.....I asked them to just change my holidays at the lab I work at, but it was a no go, so now I have to take vacation. At least a lot of them this year fall on weekends.
