    New here

    Hello,

    I am a long time garter keeper, love them, they are awesome pretty snakes and ACTIVE that's the best part. My corn snakes will just hide or just never move, my garters are like OH HAI!, let me introduce them

    Frosty and Serpent (Reg and albino checkered), born Sept 09 same litter captive bred

    Here is a better look at serpents pattern



    and then there are these 3 clowns that I built a super enclosure for, lots of climbing space to avoid constant kerplunks. These 3 are wild caught as newborns, these 3 were about 5 inches upon capture

    There is 2 year old Slider (eastern plains), got his name after being attacked by a cat and losing part of its tail and received gashes and punctures in its side


    1 year old Pepper (eastern plains), the king of his enclosure, owns the hide at the top corner of the enclosure looking upon everything that's below him


    Then there is 4 year old Spot (red sided) got his name because he has 2 big black spots near his head and tail, my oldest garter but only about 18 inches long. This garter is very unique, super easy to handle, super active, comes to you when you open the lid, never musked unlike slider and pepper. Words really can't explain it but other garters would slip right out of your hands and potentially fall to the ground but this one will wrap itself around your fingers and loves to climb

    I may be mistaken. Always thought they were called eastern plains here in Manitoba.
