That's what I'm talkin' about.^^^ (looks rather annoyed) The viper impression, some rather audible hissing, and downright blood-drawing bites is what I experienced from those snakes in the wild but that really only applies to my rather rude (to them) interruption of their activities. I mean, they have no problem letting you know when they are irritated. Once I handle them for a few minutes, they calm down. Most of the wild one's I have handled were the blue phase, like that one.

What I'm saying applies to wild infernalis. I have no idea if captive one's are the same way. I don't know about other people, but I admire a "spunky" snake that puts up a show and a fight when caught.

"We're workin' with him, but..."

The snake is pretty impressive too, right Steve?

Mine are CBB from Scott, and they will tag my hand every time.

Love it! attitude is their middle name.

Yea... all of my infernalis are downright ornery! My male is O.K... in that when I pick him up he does not flip out and become extremely defensive. But for the most part my infernalis are flippy. I walk up to their cage and all three of them suddenly feel the urge to BOLT anywhere and everywhere. When I feed them they fling bedding and debris and water and their tails and poo.... oh they are just too fun. By far, they are the most ornery garters I have ever owned! Hence, they are not my favorite garter, by a longshot. If they were not so beautiful, I would not keep them simply for the fact that they are NUTS!!!

Sounds like just about every male concinnus I've ever had. Well, besides the one I sent to you shannon.

Be prepared for some serious flailing Don. Every time time I walk in the room, your male produces an audible "THUMP" when his nose hits the glass. Sometimes followed by feces and tail flipping. Musking and nipping when I try to pick him up or move him. high strung little booger. He just shed today. He's gorgeous!

I love when snakes do that viper head flattening impression. GOSH those are pretty snakes.

Hey i'm sitting down so I won't have far to fall when I faint.....so can someone tell me what a snake like that goes for? There are so many choices....I thought I had it narrowed down.
