First time here.

Still snakeless in NC. Went to the RepitCon in Columbia SC on our way home from vacation and they had 3 easterns...........that they removed from the WILD. Yup, they had 3 adult w/c easterns, and this really ****** me off!! I guess some people just don't give a crap, anyway................so my next try will be at the Reptile show in Raleigh the beginning of May. I guess it's just not my time yet, but at least I'll the tank all set up and ready to go!

Sounds like I should be saying, "better luck next show". You're time will come, because every garter will have it's day.

I may have FINALLY located an eastern. There's a local reptile rescue here and I took over some dubia roaches for their beardies and other insect eating reptiles and while looking through the pythons, turtles, corn snakes, ring necks, bunnies and others, there he/she was. Watching me and my husband. The rescue founder may put this up for re-homing and I'm top on the list. He/she is eating and appears to be healthy so by the end of this weekend I should know if my tank will no longer be empty. Excited? A little, I'm not going to get my hopes up. But then the reptile show in next weekend in Raleigh and I am excited about that. I would love to have a young one, but then to rescue one would be great also. This is the first garter hes had in rescue and commented on how alert and curious it is. I told him to me, garters are the cats of the snake family. Very curious and social.

Rescuing a garter is a good thing. Hope you get it.

Just got the call..............I'll be the proud new care giver of one garter snake. I'll know tomorrow if it's a boy or girl, kinda like waiting for the ultra sound tests. Now I'm excited!!

Great, you'll enjoy it whether it's a boy or girl.

Looking forward to seeing the kid.

That is so exciting! You're finally getting your eastern and it's a rescue snake which makes it even better. Congrats! We definitely need pics as soon as you can get some up. Easterns are awesome.

[mikem]

Awesome to hear! Glad you finally located one. Can't wait to see pics of him or her!! I'd take the ringnecks

Are you still going to the Raleigh show? I wanted to make the trip there soooo bad, but "unfortunately" I'm going to an all day music event with a few friends. What makes it worse is that I'm not into any of the bands playing... none. Gah, I wish I could bail out..lol!

[kueluck]

It's a girl. I'll be picking her up later on this morning. And since it's a girl I guess I'll have just one snake since my 29 long isn't big enough for two. My original plan was to have 2 males, but like most of my plans it's not going to pan out. Still going to the Raleigh show since I can always use viv items, and pinkies. And the little ringneck isn't an option, it already has a home.
