But never mind.

The Conncinus is growing like a weed...so so much bigger than the flame and shedding far more often.

Now what did I tell you? 24-28 inches at 1yr (provided they are kept under "summer" conditions and fed well the entire year) is pretty much what they do. This is after all a snake that can reach nearly 4 feet and where they live, there's a lot of pressure to get big fast because everything from birds to bullfrogs are looking to have you for a snack. The solution is to get big enough to eat them instead, and do it fast. That concinnus will overtake the other snake(s) you have and will soon be way bigger than them.

Im new here...helllo all. I live in Michigan and I dont see those kind of red ones around here.I love the red snake. Beautiful. I have an eastern garter right now. she has a red skinny stripe down both her sides but thats all the red in her. Where are those red ones, I would love to get one.

Sorry didn't see your post.

It's an eastern, but a rare morph called a flame. They occur in Canada, but usually you have to buy them (I did). I got mine from Scott Felzer.

Thats ok about missing it...I do that sometimes too. So much info at once sometimes I guess. Thats ok. If I were to buy one how much am I looking at if you mind me asking. Thank for the name so that I know what I would be looking for.

Around (usually under) $200

Here's what Scott has $195

wow I dont have that kind of money. They are very beatiful though. Do you know of a species of garter snake that has a lot of color that is like 25 or lower. I know thats probably a dumb question and im sorry. But Im curious.

[RedSidedSPR]

not a dumb question. $25 is a very cheap price for a snake... only normals will be that cheap from Scott. Others will sell $10 snakes. Theres no real price for a snake, people price them however. So I don't know how to answer that. There are very colorful snakes with red and stiff that are "normal", not a morph like a flame. They're not expensive.

T.s. concinnus (red spotted garter snake)
T.s. Parietalis (red sided garter snake)
And others

Prices really vary, I paid MUCH less for my flame. It is the shipping costs that will get you (i.e. the shipping was almost twice the cost of the flame).

RedSided here is a pretty accurate depiction of the red color on my little guys head (the red looks a bit more solid and brighter to the eye). Parts of him are on FIRE while other parts are still ivory! Can't wait until he is bigger as then the colors will really show up (harder to see when they are still so tiny!).

Yours looks so different from mine simply because of their nose... Mine has the whole southeastern short nosed bug eyed look.

If I had any left, I would sell my T.s. concinnus babies that low. I often sell two for 40 or 50 bucks. Maybe you should talk to Don Belnap. Garter Snake Forum - View Profile: ssssnakeluvr

He bought a litter of 10 from me. Maybe he still has some.

I recently sold these two CB $40 for both. The thing that usually gets you is the additional cost of shipping. In the case of these two, the total cost was $75 shipped.



Or I could get you a WC, deworm it and make sure it's eating well. Even the WC ones make darn fine pets and do very well in captivity. I've had many over the years that are tame as heck and will carefully eat right from my fingers. My Big Bertha comes to mind. She's an old female nearly 4 feet long. She's a smart loving "puppy dog"

(this is just an example of a WC one)
