I am not sure if this is already discussed or not but I called up an animal hospital that deal with reptiles and when she asked me which type of snake I wanted sexed as I am debating finding out 100% which sex they are she told me it's 80$ per snake but that they don't do garter snakes because it's illegal to own anything indigenous <----spelt that wrong didn't I? When I looked online for my city Ottawa Ontario Canada nothing states that garter snakes are illegal from the ones around here. Does anyone know if this is true? Second question where is a good place in North America to purchase a garter snake wether wandering or Florida blue or whatever that would ship to Canada?
