I only want to keep snakes as pets to observe and enjoy, if I end up with pairs breeding then that's fine, but I'm not setting out be a snake breeder by any definition. What that means is that I never intend to have more snakes than we can comfortably handle between us regularly, so a limit of maybe 10-12 snakes at any time. But I am finding myself with a bit of ticklist building up, of beautiful garters that I want see first-hand.
Did anyone else start with one garter, then find a growing ticklist?

My current list is:
  • T. marcianus - "tick" (for normal and albino).
  • T.e. cuitzeoensis - "tick", came across these a bit by accident, but wonderful snakes that I feel privilaged to own.

Now for the ones yet to come (in no particular order):
  • T.s. tetrataenia - I've got to have these on the list.
  • T.s. infernalis
  • T.s. pickeringii (blue phase) - possibly the only morph/varient from natural colours on my list
  • T.a. atratus - after Udo's photo competition entry this month.
  • T. radix (B/W) - apparently there's only one place you might be able to get these from...

I'm sure there's other snakes I'll add to the list over the next few years. I just thought it would be fun to start a thread and see how my list changes over time. Anyone want to suggest what I have missing?
