Why gartersnakes?

They were, some 35 years ago, my first snakes I fell in love with. And your first love... you know what they say.

On my job I take care of all kinds of reptiles etc, like Pantherophis, Lampropeltis, Pythons, Boa's, Monitors, Iguana's, Caimans, Mississippialligators, etc. etc.
But nothing beats the garter snakes when I come home.
