Pregnant Puget Sound

[Charis]

Very pretty! My female Puget seems to be well on her way to looking like that, here's hoping she does get that beautiful! It is so nice to see someone breeding them, they are quite hard to find. The vet told me my girl might not breed because of the eye infection she got, guess I'll have to wait & see on that. You absolutely have to post pics when the babies come!

I wonder what it would take to get some up to Canada...?

I wish I knew, some Canadian people would be really happy.

I've got a large order headed for canada. Did it last year as well. The guy does all the paperwork himself, I simply ship the snakes to NY, he drives to NY to pick them up and then takes them back across the border. Since it's quite a bit of paperwork and stuff, we only do it once a year... He is in fact, looking for pugets!

Would certainly be interested in purchasing a baby puget sound off you at some point.

They are already there, in the wild, in B.C.

My brother lives in Bellingham, WA, U.S.A. and they had a warm sunny spell back in late March that lasted about a week. He said he practically had to shovel blue striped garters (pugets) aside to clear a path. I sent a pic of pugets and he confirmed that's the snake he saw. Been working on getting a few ever since but the weather has been like Dec or Jan ever since. In fact, January was warmer and drier than April. May has been just plain old soggy wet and one of the coldest on record. No snakes sighted, no sun to speak of.

If I have to drive up there myself in June or July, I'm not coming back without some pugets! But seriously, snakes have not been active up there since March breeding at the den sites. It's been that crappy.

That'd be awesome to see.

What? the crappy weather or breeding balls of pugets?

5 minutes at a den site from Everett, WA all the way up to Canada, during the first warm days of spring can yield this:

Wow, I'm definitely jealous! Those are so blue too
