getting my first garter next week

[chris-uk]

it will either be Blue Lizard Reptiles, or failing that I'll go to a local pet shop a short drive away, as I know they have them in at the moment.

Personally, I'd do the drive and look at the snake before I buy it. Also, I'd consider mailing a snake to be a last resort. Even if the local shop was more expensive I'd avoid mail order. Being able to handle and examine the animal before buying it is a significant advantage.

I've always thought this. At some point I know I will have to obtain a snake via courier but I may try to leave that for when there is no other alternative.

I think that is a wise decision.
