    Holy Atratus!

    Sooooooo I have a connection in canada and he needed a favor. He bought a group of atratus (Santa Cruz Garters) from Tim Spuckler, and Tim needed to ship them this week. Only problem is the fellow from Canada could not make it down this week, to pick up the snakes in NY and take them across the border (legally, with paperwork) so he asked if I could "snakesit" for a week or so! (This would not be the first time) So I came home from work on friday to FREAKING 28 ATRATUS!!! Ha! I was expecting like, 15 or so, lol! He allowed me to select a pair for the favor and I must say... I am so delighted with them! These are nice and big too, not little babies, but a good 8 inches long and fat! about 9 of them ate within a half hour of coming out of the box, the rest were still spazzing out. Anyway, I just thought I'd share this cool story as I am probably never going to see this many atratus together again! Not to mention, I was able to score a pair of Tim's atratus, which I really wanted to get this year, but I simply couldn't! They are so pretty, with their green bodies, orange bellies and stripes!

    Sweet looking snakies!
    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.
