Hi from Mexico City

Hi to all from Mexico City !!

I had keeped a some number of WC garter snakes that i myself did collected from the surrounds of my location, i had keep them for a while, and then i had released them into their original areas from where they were originally taken.

Once i did collected an adult ribbon-snake (the lonely wild one i´ve seen and collected ever), and a few moments after i did released it again in the same area that it was taken from.


All that was a some years ago, but today i still interesting in to keep again for a while a some individuals of garter snakes, but particularly i hope to find again a second ribbon-snake but this time for keep it for a while before of release it. Thanks, regards, Roberto.

Hi! Roberto, Welcome! with a name like TeircelR you must be a fellow Falconer?

Welcome aboard. You are making a good decision to get back into garters and ribbons.
I have some Mexican garter snakes - Lake Cuitzeo Garters. They are great snakes, if you are close to Lake Cuitzeo you could do worse than going and looking for some of them.

I think you are right there Rod, there's falconry mentioned in Roberto's profile.

EasternGirl (Marnie), thanks mucho gusto, Toluca está muy cerca de mi localidad !

Natrix, thanks, yes i have flown a some raptors of different species, when i founded this ribbon-snake this happened just when i has been hawking on small birds with a female cooper hawk ! Also i do sewn hoods as a hobby and sell them to the falconers !

chris-uk, thanks, the ribbon-snake i said was founded just around of 20 kilometers of distance from the Cuitzeo Lake ! i had founded garter-snakes almost anywhere of the wide of the mexican territory in the template temperature areas, many of these garters i had founded had haved marked variations in colour patterns and sizes in both adult ones and in juveniles, this variations inclusivelly in the same areas of their habitat. Yes i like falconry too !

mikem, thanks !

indigoman, thanks !
