OH no... I thought garters were beginner snakes....?
oooops...
well I had the choice of a fast paced red bellied water snake or two garter snakes...that was in 1986. . . .
with the garter snakes I got two.... and they were different! (one was melanistic... but no-one wanted the 'plain' one !!!! )hooked ever since... a short break while my son was in his 'I am a toddler out to break everything' stage... but back with a vengance now.....woooohooo


(just asked my partner if he fancied a weekend away. . . . . his reply was . . . .:
'can't you just buy me some wood and ask me to build you something!'
well I feel another snake room coming on........
