    I'd say 25 quid for a healthy ribbon is a deal. even here in the USA if one were to order a ribbon from the KS classifieds, it would cost that with the shipping. Go get yourself one

    For ideas about color morphs, Alan Frances has a UK based site, and Scott Felzer here in the USA has a good site too.

    I'm not certain of the URL at the moment, and the kids are giving me a hard time right now.....

    I think Jen means 25 in UK pounds, so that almost 50,- in dollars I'd say that's quite expensive !!
    We sell our ribbons for 15 in euro's, so that's $23 and £12. UK is very expensive about garters and I think in all reptiles.

    Jen, if my memory serves me correctly there are 63 different Thamnophis counting sub-species. This does not include all the different color morphs.
