[drache]

what a pretty baby!
Don
I've been meaning to ask
do you take your snakes outside for photos?

[adamanteus]

do you take your snakes outside for photos?

If not, that's a very lush carpet you've got there!:rolleyes:

[drache]

If not, that's a very lush carpet you've got there!:rolleyes:
okay, okay
that was a dumb question
I've never seen astro turf look so real

[ssssnakeluvr]

I do take them outside....I used to take photos on my work table in the critter room, but the camera wouldn't focus wortha crap...tried taking them out in the yard and the camera works wonders!!! Iget some great shts!!!!!

[adamanteus]

I get some great shots!!!!!

That's for sure, Don!:)

[drache]

okay
so I guess you have a big enough piece of lawn where you're not worried about loosing them
I've been considering taking mine to the park for photos, but it's scary
I'm gonna try today though - I found a snake-savvy assistant

[mikm]

Another, beautiful snake Don ... I too find that if you take the snakes outside the pic quality is far better and the snakes (usually) are not so quick to dart away.

enjoy your weekend !!

[Lulu Bennett]

my female is far to quick for that beside the lawn hasn't been cut in a long while so its a forest at the mo lol so i personally wouldn't try it but i agree on the quallity of pics tho

[snakeman]

Congrats on the new snake.Flames are the best to watch grow and color up.You never know what they are going to turn out like .

[ssssnakeluvr]

My assistant Nikki (my daughter and fellow snake nut) helps me...she covers them with her hands to calm them down...works most of the time.....:rolleyes:

[Snaky]

Nice addition :)

Don't forget to show some update's once in a while, so we can see her coloring up ;)

[ssssnakeluvr]

I definitely will!!!!!! :D

[abcat1993]

...works most of the time.....:rolleyes:
And if it doesn't?

[ssssnakeluvr]

then they go back in their tank and I move on to the next!!!!! :cool:

[abcat1993]

Hmmm, maybe your snakes are slower than mine, because they sprint around like crazy, especially the babies, and I can't imagine catching them.

[Gijs & Sabine]

Very nice flame, Don :eek: It looks so red already, promising for the future:rolleyes:

[Elliot]

Beautiful snake, I love garters with red on them.

[ssssnakeluvr]

then you will like my red spots...I have a pair of high red ones....deep red covering their head!!!!

[charles parenteau]

Nice babie! Usually new born flame garter are orange,the red pigment will increase over their first 2 years of life.This year I found many newborn flame in a spot some of them were already red!!
We did'nt find any adult in this spot ,too late in mid september.Ithink most adult flame garter are blood red in this location.

Usually in other spot, only a certain pourcentage of adult flame are red ,most of them are orange(adult).
You never know if a new born wild caught flame will turn red as adult .
Most captive bred flame will turn apple red ,some (rusty or burgundy).

I m always interresting the see the evolution of baby flame garter 'i appreciate if you show me a couple of picture until 3 years old. tanks

[ssssnakeluvr]

would love to, but she passed away this summer.... :(

[charles parenteau]

I'm sorry about that :( This is a two shed old wild caught eastern garter .just a bit of red on face .( caught in mid september http://s151.photobucket.com/albums/s152/parenteau/?action=view&current=1dec07010.jpg

[Stefan-A]

Very nice! :)

Great pictures, by the way.

[tikichick]

Beautiful pics!

[Odie]

Beautiful Snakes :cool:

[anji1971]

What a beautiful snake! They really don't need to have much red on them to be stunning!!

[Snaky]

A very nice one:)

[salzar]

If I did this with sal he would bolt and I would never find him, I have grown to fond of him , but am concedering a garter snake soon, maybe in the spring. still not for shure what kind though!!
love the checkered type!!!
bye
michelle

[anji1971]

Michelle, didn't anyone tell you that if you don't have a garter within a year after joining the forum, we'll all stop talking to you????:D (just kiddin'!)

[tikichick]

Holler at me in the Spring, Michelle. I've got 6 checkered babies and I'll be rehoming all but one or two come Springtime :)

[Lori P]

(GASP) Michelle!! You don't a garter??? Oh, that's it... band together everyone, get the pitchforks and the torches, we're storming Michelle's abode!!

Um... anyone?? Pitchforks? Torches? Ok, how about plastic forks and lighters?? Anyone??

Ok... well... looks like you're safe for now Michelle. But we expect you to have that garter soon!!!

LOL :D:D

[Odie]

fire, did some one say fire ;)
Ca, ca, can, I light the plastic forks :D

[salzar]

okay okay I will have one!!!
got to get a small set up first . but I have all winter to do this,
spring looks good, so I will have a garter soon there just to nice not to have. and the color and all the good things I hear about them , well I know I am missing something here!!
so I am going to have one!! and TIKICHICK
I WILL!!!!!

but the shipping thing kinda scares me HOW DO YOU DO IT!!
live animals and all.

bye
michelle

[drache]

it's fine, Michelle
get one of the checkereds
I want one too
the shipping is usually okay

[tikichick]

I have a friend who ships bearded dragons and will ask her how she does it. I will also ask some snake breeders on a texas reptile forum that I'm on. Or you can probably find one in your area. Keep me posted. I'll hold one for you in the mean time ; )

[tikichick]

it's fine, Michelle
get one of the checkereds
I want one too
the shipping is usually okay

You want one in general? Or shall I hold one for you too? :)

[drache]

You want one in general? Or shall I hold one for you too? :)
both
I've wanted one in general for a while
now I've got one and I want a pretty boy for her
please hold one for me - one pretty marcianus boy

[salzar]

yea me to!!!
unless there are some shops here that have garters , but most of the shops here have balls and corns!!
or the common ribbon type I think I would like a checkered one or something with color!!
so I will keep you in mind come spring!!
thanks so much!!!!
bye
michelle

[tikichick]

Cool yall :)

I'll figure out what I've got and unless they're all girls, lol, we'll be good to go.

They're sweeties. I handle them daily and not a one has tried to strike me.

I'm in Texas and they just published a new black list of critters that cannot be sold. So all you'll need to pay for is the shipping costs. Course, if you want to make a small contribution to my rescue efforts, I wouldn't complain, lol ;)

I'll take more pics of them soon :)

[salzar]

shipping and a small contribution is not out of the question for me.
so count me in as of now, unless something happens that prevents me from getting one!!
okay cool come on spring . right now we have a foot of snow outside!!!
sal looked out the window and curled up tightly to my hand and seemed to not like the shear brightness of the snow!!
poor thing, me either!!!
bye
michelle

[anji1971]

At least you've got some snow! I keep praying for the stuff, and all the storms go right around us.:mad:

Wish I could get some of those checkered babies shipped here, but customs doesn't like things like that coming through.......;)

[tikichick]

Yeah, that's a bummer. Snakes don't know boundaries! Lol. It's all the same continent anyway :p

[anji1971]

Bet that won't go over at the border though!
Ah well, someday somebody in Canada will breed all the snakes I want....maybe!

[tikichick]

Maybe a pet store could import them for you? It'd be more expensive, but you could get you a breeding pair and take care of that shortage, lol.

[anji1971]

Oh, if I ever move into a bit bigger house, it's the first thing on my agenda to look into--I'd love to be able to provide a couple different varieties for Canadians.
Alas, it doesn't look like I'm moving anytime soon, so I hope someone else out there gets started. Some Pugets, and Tetrataenia, perhaps???? Anyone???

BTW, I actually may have a lead on someone in the pet store, just have to find him working when I go in there, so far no luck.

[tikichick]

Well best of luck to you! :)
