[adamanteus]

Lovely new cyrtopsis, Dean. Congratulations.

[Garterguy82]

Mates reptile store. He has had them for a while so snapped em up before anyone else did lol. Thats 2 pairs for me now:D :p


Dean

[Josh]

cool you mating them?

[Garterguy82]

Heres 2 new pics of the male garter that people think is a T.radix? maybe these pics will help to confirm anything?

Thanks for looking guys and thanks for the kind words. It makes a nice change from most forums where people new to garters or for that matter any other snake get treated like idiots and get slated. Im really liking this forum.

Thanks again guys and girls:D

Wow, those cyrtopsis look great. :)

Sure looks like a radix, do you have any close-ups of the lateral stripe? Anything that makes scale counting easier.

[Garterguy82]

cool you mating them?

I have every intention to mate but worried they will be a bit small this year?


Dean

[Josh]

yea i know i meant in the future.

[ssssnakeluvr]

[Garterguy82]

Deffinately. Got another unrelated pair that are slightly bigger so hopefully both pairs will be mated in the future. I cant wait:)

I just caught my eastern not eatin yet soon hope.

[adamanteus]

As I said in your previous thread, Dean....certainly looks like radix to me, but darker than I'm used to seeing.

[Stefan-A]

I saw a radix that dark in a store once, mistook it for a sirtalis at first. I think they sold it as an "Green River garter snake".

[GarterGuy]

Hmmmm.....looks like the lateral stripe is in the 3rd and 4th scale rows. I'd have to stick with T.radix. Very nice eastern black necks....they're way high on my must get list!

Alan Francis has them available right now...I'm buying some myself!:D

[garterman07]

woah!!! nice snakes dude!!! t.radix and the black necks are my favourites!!! i've always wanted some, congrats!!!

[ScimitarX]

I concur, definitely radix. I just got a pair today that are nearly as dark, shop was selling them as sirtalis but i noticed spotting and the bright dorsal stripe and they confirmed that they are indeed radix when i went to buy them. I also have a pair of black-necks, lovely snakes.

[Josh]

Definetly radix
very nice.

[GarterGirl]

Beautiful! Brilliant!
What else can I say?

[drache]

blacknecks are definitely on my wish list
and I love the radix

[Josh]

Is there a website were Alan sells his garter snakes. The only site i've seen has pics and descriptions of his many garter but no mention of selling them.

You have to email him when you're interested.;)

[Serpentine99]

oh ok. do you have to have a specific supspecies in mind or does he give you like a list of prices?

[Gijs & Sabine]

You can see on his site what subspecies he has and then you can ask what babies are available.
