Found 'em!!!!!!!!!! :-)

[Lori P]

I found three baby blue Puget garters!!!!!!!!! I talked to the man extensively today-- his name is Greg Johnson, from NYC-- I really liked him, he asked me questions and answered everything I asked him... seems very knowledgeable, and seems to care about the welfare of the snakes but before I go any further-- anything I should know?!

He has the parents, who were wild caught. These babies are eating f/t pinkies (in pieces-parts, ugh, lol). He sent me pics, and omg, they are cuuuuute.

So I hope this will work out!!!!!! :-) :-)

[Josh]

where?
pm me his email if you know he has any more.

[drache]

congrats
and I can't wait to see the pictures
where in NYC is he?
'cause that's where I am

[Lori P]

Josh, I stumbled across him by just doing a general search for "Puget Sound garters" and was directed to an ad he had on venomousreptiles.org. I emailed him and he called me right back, then sent pics and we talked at length today.

He just has the 3 babies for sale right now. He said the adults he has are difficult feeders, and the impression I got is he's not comfortable letting them go.

I've got feelers out everywhere, so if I hear of anymore, I'll let you know for sure.

Rhea, he's on Staten Island. Hedgehog, I already emailed him the link, LOL!!!

He is a good man to buy from Lori, I bought my male california red-sided from him.

Glad you found some Pugets Lori. Sounds like you've got a good guy to get them from too....especially with Tori's recomendation. You'll have to post pics of them when you get them.:D

Staten Island - cool
that place seems to be a little hot-bed of herp enthusiasts

[Lori P]

Tori, thanks-- very glad to hear he's good! He seemed very nice and easy to talk to, willing to answer everything. I liked, too, that he wanted to talk in person before sending the animals out. :-)

Roy, will send pics for sure. And will then bug you all non-stop every time the little guys blink funny. lol

I can see Rhea heading over to Staten Island soon.... :-)

[drache]

I can see Rhea heading over to Staten Island soon.... :-)

I will, I will
I understand there's quite a population of Easterns there as well, and I've got an invite to go herping with a guy who keeps monitors

[Gijs & Sabine]

That's great news, Lori :) I'm happy for you you found some pudgets from a nice person.
Curious for the pics :rolleyes:

[adamanteus]

Great news that you found your snakes from a trustworthy source. Well done.:)

[Lori P]

Thank you!!! It's just that patience problem of mine.... I HAD to find some NOW!!!! lol

[i of the storm]

could I get his contact info as well, Lori? Im now on my quest for one blue (puget or fla-which is bluer?) and one red-sided.:D I know you said he is out of the puget, but Ill see what he has. We were going to drive to charleston, SC and would be passing scott frasier, but now it looks like we'll be flying. so since no saving on shipping, anywhere willl do now.

[Lori P]

They're coming tomorrow!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!! Someone remind me--- worms-- isn't there one type not to get? Red worms or something? Nightcrawlers are ok right? What about wax worms?

THANKS!!

[i of the storm]

I just received my puget and my red-sided today via fedex from Scott Felzer. beautiful snakes, especially the puget!

[Lori P]

Did you get an adult Puget from him? SEND PICS!!!!! :-) :-)

[i of the storm]

No, both babies. He had one puget that was spoken for , but the buyer backed out.

Avoid the 'Red Wrigglers', they're toxic. Nightcrawlers are fine.:)

I was gonna say I asked him and he said there we're none left, that was a little over a week ago, so I settled on 4 similis and 2 red-sideds, it was really nice working with him and there all doing great, one similis has shed already.................:D

I have a few in my gallery, but the pics don't do them any justice, for some reason its hard to pick up on there color when taking a pic.....:)
some have a bluish-green color to them and the others have a nice blue color, kinda like a puget, but lighter, I hope they stay this way, but they are only babies so will see if it changes at all............meanwhile I'll try to
get better pics and hope some color comes out in them...............:D

[Serpentine99]

I've noticed that the majority of photos that feature Pugets fail to pick up their color, I don't know why though.

no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get the color to come out, maybe I just need a better camera.................:D

[adamanteus]

Okay, I know it's not a good picture (taken through plastic), but here's the first shot I've taken of my red phase pickeringii.

[enigma200316]

Awsome looking snakes James, I want some......:D
I think they're the ones that got lost in the mail, they should have been here days ago.............:rolleyes:

[adamanteus]

They are actually a lot nicer looking than the photo shows, especially the male (above). In the pic they just look like parietalis, but they're actually quite different.
I didn't know you were getting some, Justin.

The one in the background almost looks like a fitchi. ;) But seriously, they both look great. :)

[drache]

they look great
and yes
they look just like my parietalis
wish I could see them live, because I'm curioous as to how different they really are

[Snaky]

The pictures don't flatter them as they should (I've seen them in reality)
They're very nice:)
