I've never come across a source for them around here though

[enigma200316]

How old is she now?

[adamanteus]

How old is she now?

I think she is about 6 or 7 months old.:) I've had her 4 months now.

[Elliot]

Nice snakes James, I can't wait till mine get bigger and start developing some color.:D

[Stefan-A]

Nice looking checkered, James. :)

Great pictures James. One of my female chequereds is called Olive too.

[adamanteus]

Great pictures James. One of my female chequereds is called Olive too.

Thankyou.:o I don't usually name my snakes, but my daughter, Molly, wanted to name this one "Holly", so I felt it wise to intervene!!:eek:

[enigma200316]

yeah you already told us about the numerous Holly's, so wise choice....:D

[DEKAN]

Beautiful snakes... :D

[Lulu Bennett]

fab pics james xxx

[adamanteus]

Thanks guys!:o

[Gijs & Sabine]

Very nice ones, James :) Their color is a bit differend than our marcianus, I like it:rolleyes:

[adamanteus]

They are very young snakes at the moment, only about 22" long. Who knows how their colour might develope? I hope they keep this colouration, but we'll see next year!

[GarterGuy]

Very nice looking checkereds! I love their colour, wish I'd see some like that at the shows, I'd scarf them up. Most I've seen are more brownish, the nice green colour looks great.

Roy

[adamanteus]

Thanks, Roy. I'm lucky to have found such nicely coloured specimens.:)

[Serpentine99]

James are your checkereds more laid back then other species of garters?

[adamanteus]

Yes, they are very calm and easy to handle. So are my radix though.

[Serpentine99]

I've noticed that too. I would say it's one of the best garters for a beginner, as well as the Radix.

[adamanteus]

Yeah, definitely, maybe more so for radix.

[adamanteus]

Molly with Olive. (Under very close supervision!)

[Lulu Bennett]

awwww bless that is such an adorable picture and she is a very pretty young lady there i am guessing she gets that from her mother? :D

[Lulu Bennett]

i guess a bit from her father too ;) :D

[enigma200316]

I don't know James, hard to tell she's your kid with how cute she is..lol:D
no just kidding lovely little girl James your a lucky man.......

[adamanteus]

Yeah, she's a doll. I've no idea who her parents were....I bought her off the internet, just to do the washing-up!

[enigma200316]

hahahaha!!!! your crazy man....too funny.......:D

[adamanteus]

In truth, she gets her looks from her beautiful Mother, her (astonishing) brains from her Grandfather and her affinity with animals and her stubborn streak I take the credit for!

[Gijs & Sabine]

What a sweet picture of Molly holding Olive http://www.reptiles4life.nl/images/smiles/060.gif (http://javascript<b></b>:emoticon(':smt060')) You're very lucky with such a lovely girl.

[drache]

James

[Stefan-A]

[Thamnophis]

T. marcianus is very beautiful. I am afraid this species has to be added tot my collection one day. Beautiful pics, James.

[reptileparadise]

Offcourse it has...Are their any subspecies that you really really really dont want in your collection?

by the way James...I've caught you a Argiope bruennichi. Already? Yeah...semi long term captive animal...Would be dissapointing if it died soon after arrival...

[Thamnophis]

Offcourse it has...Are their any subspecies that you really really really dont want in your collection?

No, I do not think there are. :confused:

[Lulu Bennett]

thata a fab pic you have there!

[drache]

James that is a stunning snake and a great picture of her as well

[adamanteus]

One of my male T.marcianus sloughed today... I was lucky enough to get a photo.
