    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    I really do because even though all I ever see are the common ones with yellow stripes when I go hiking for some odd reason it never gets boring over the years hunting and knowing I'll only find one of 2 snakes and it's usually always a garter :P it's still exciting each time.

    Houdini (my snake) strongly suggests you get a florida blue Though I have to say all of those sound like good possibilities.

    I think we talked about this before. You don't simply "ship 1 or 2 to Canada". It's a lot more complicated (and expensive) than that. That's why you can't find many garters or morphs in Canada in the first place. It's not even close to cost effective to ship one or two unless you include them in with a much more valuable shipment of other reptiles.

    Maybe you should talk to Spankenstyne. He got one of my garters into Canada. I shipped to a US address, and an exporter here put the snake in with a large reptile export going to Canada. We're likely going to do it again soon. Maybe he can arrange to buy or acquire some garters for you and get them imported. I don't know. Maybe. He knows more about importing (to Canada) from U.S. than I do. But I do know this takes months of planning and there is perhaps one shot each year to get some garters into Canada. If you don't make arrangements ahead of time, you "miss the boat".
