1011510116Just got back from the show and I picked up this lil guy for $25:D. That was the only garter I could find there :(

Very nice, congratulations!! Sad to hear the expo is short on Thams, but that sounds about right with the last few CA expos I've been to. :( I'm going to the Supershow tomorrow morning, can't wait. Hopefully rat snakes and skinks are a little more abundant.

[rickymar81]

Thank you. There was albino female but they wanted $75 for her, I saw a few rat snakes and skinks there. The show room is huge......

Let me guess. Ball pythons, corns, geckos and frogs mostly?

yea there were a lot of boas to. It sucks that they don't have garters at the shows

Back from the show. It was a lot of fun! I did come across 3 "Great Plains Garter snakes" (which I took to mean T. radix, though the seller couldn't tell me for sure) for $25 each at one table. I was VERY tempted to go for the largest, who was very colorful... But the gal said they were feeding on minnows, waxworms, and earthworms. :/ I didn't want to risk taking home a snake that may prove to be a difficult eater.

Instead I was bad and caved on a Kunisir Island Rat snake and yet another Fire skink. :)

The Garter I almost caved on.. This crappy cell pic doesn't do its gorgeous orange stripe justice. I almost regret not getting it..

That's a good looking snake..... Where were the garters when I went on sat! :(

[Floof]

The 3 Radix were tucked away on a table belonging to a pet store in Lake Elsinore. The Reptile Den, I think. But other than that, the only Garter I saw was the $75 albino checkered. Same one you saw on Sat, I bet!

Geeze, I think that one Radix is going to haunt me. But it's okay, so is the albino Radiated rat snake I passed up in lieu of the Kunasir.

I think it was from amazon reptiles. I ask if they would go down lower but no :(. I might have to check out the reptile den this weekend. Hopefully they still have some

$75 for an albino checkered!!!! thats outrageous to me. i can grab one at petsmart for 40 lol

[GarterGuy17]

I moved from new York to Philadelphia so I'm not even sure which would be closest now. I'm constantly going to petsmart looking for garters but all I find is corn snakes and such . 75 is outrageous haha I bought my baby red sided for 45 dollars in 2011 .
