    Re: Forgotten species?!

    I love the blue snakes too. They are all so beautiful. My absolute favorite! I could get only the blues and be very happy. I do not have any yet actually. Hi, I'm Lisa. I'm new to snakes and to the forum. You guys have helped me so much to prepare for my baby. I just want to thank you all. I never thought I'd want a snake... for years my son has wanted a snake, but I've said no, I have never liked other snakes, and still get the willies from most of them, but then he found a garter out by the creek and we tried to keep it last month. We thought it was a girl from a book we have, though it was for corn snakes, I mean a snake is a snake right? ...so we went with that. Her name was Sabrina. We kept her for about 3 weeks or so but we couldn't get her to eat anything. We decided to set her free again. Well, I found this forum after that and was sad we let her go so soon. She was so calm, tame and sweet, so easy to handle. She was about 18 inches long and black with 3 yellow stripes. We thought it was best anyway, because after we had her for awhile we called a few places to find out what we can do for her and found out it is illegal to keep wildlife of any kind around here. We didn't want to worry about that. But we still miss her, crazy huh. We will be getting an Oregon Red Spotted soon. I have a question though. Will my snake be happy and healthy if I only have one? Thanks

    Your garter snake will be fine and healthy living by himself, but be careful they are addictive!

    Btw, Hi and welcome to the forum

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

    No need to rush in. I let the radixes speak for themselves.

    How easy are they to get a hold of? The pickeringii and similis?

    You can get pickeringii in the UK (or more likely you'll need to look to Europe), I don't think I've seen anyone keeping or breeding similis over here (but I could be wrong).
    Sjoerd (Home - www.crazyreptiles.eu) has blue-phase pickeringii, so you may be able to get some a Donny in Sept.
