    Re: Hes not a Garter!! Please help!

    They are Indonesian, and completely harmless.

    Have no fear, they make great pets, and we will still be supportive to you all the way

    The care is so similar to a garter.

    I can't completely agree with you on this Wayne. I would say they are 'considered' to be completely harmless.
    I'm not so sure they make great pets either. I never heard of anyone keeping them alive for very long at all. They are always wild-caught and as far as I can assertain they are always loaded with parasites.
    I think they're one for a keeper who's prepared to spend a lot of money to get them established.

    They don't, actually not in the least. They are definitely not for a beginning keeper.
