Hello people!!

My name is Nicholas and I'm new here on your forum. Seems like there is a whole lot of info here!! I'm a biologist. I have been keeping herps for about 15 years and have been breeding some for about 8.... I keep a variety of species (Spilotes, Lampropeltis, Pantherophis, Boa, Bogertophis, Heterodon, etc...) as I love the diversity of herps on our planet.

Being from Canada, I've long been a fan of Thamnophis. I've been wanting to get a nice Garter snake for a while, but there aren't many keepers here in Canada... Last year I caught a very nice pair of easterns. I kept them for exactly an hour and released them back.... I felt guilty... hehe

So all that to say, yesterday, I was lucky enough to find a VERY nice female Eastern Black Necked Garter CB at the Manchester Expo in NH! I'm stocked, it was love at first sight!! hehe

I don't have any photos of her yet, I'm letting her settle in. But, just to quench the thirst for pics, I'll leave you guys with some Thamnophis sirtalis from my neck of the woods!














This is a weird "pseudo albino" I found in 06. She was in really bad shape and lived 3 days after being in my care....






I like posts with pictures mouahahah! Hope you didn't have enough cause I've got lots of pics of wild garters!
