Really nice snakes you got there. Very good photography also.

[adamanteus]

Great pictures of great snakes, Sjoerd.

[Stefan-A]

Very nice snakes and great pictures. :)

[drache]

great beautiful snakes Sjoerd
and you photograph them well

[anji1971]

Very nice pics! too bad you can only enter one in the contest!!
What is the common name for atratus atratus? I'm not familiar with them, but it's a very pretty snake! (even if it's a miserable bugger as you say!!;))

[adamanteus]

T. a. atratus is the Santa Cruz Garter Snake, a sub-species of the Western Aquatic Garter. Like it. Want it!:D

[anji1971]

Thanks James, you've saved me from researching once again!!;)

[adamanteus]

D'oh! That's supposed to be 'The Googlers' job!

[jeffkenn]

I like the snakes...cool...

[RZL36]

Those aquatics are really nice, but never see them offered.

[adamanteus]

Those aquatics are really nice, but never see them offered.

I think they are readily available in Europe.... though maybe not in the UK. I've never seen one 'in the flesh'.

[reptileparadise]

Thanks everyone!
Hope to have a few atratus babies in a few years...(next year would be awesome...:p )

[drache]

Those aquatics are really nice, but never see them offered.
Scott Felzer has had them, but I seem to recall that he lost the female (I could be wrong)

WOW ... Your pics are just wonderful !!! Amazing collection of some very healthy, vibrant animals you have there. Thanks so much for sharing :)

Best,

[RZL36]

Does Scott Felzer ever post on this site? He knows crazy lots about garter snakes.

[adamanteus]

Does Scott Felzer ever post on this site? He knows crazy lots about garter snakes.

No, he's not a member.

[RZL36]

His loss. lol.

[reptileparadise]

It would be great to have him on board! (I think...Never spoken to the guy...all I know is that he has some cool looking snakes...)

[adamanteus]

I often wish we could get some 'well known' members...... Doug Rossman would be a welcome addition, (if you're reading this Doug!):D

[reptileparadise]

oops...had to google for that one...
Yeah, would be very nice to have him on board...Although some scientist (is he a scientist? ) can be quite ...yeah...how should I say that...They can act like they are always wright...and everyone else is wrong...Can be quite anoying....

[adamanteus]

I guess. But he could be like a mascot (Another mascot)!:D

[Lori P]

I've seen Scott on the Kingsnake.com garter forum.... but I don't spend much time at all there. (This forum is too fun!!!!!) Have we ever invited him here??

[reptileparadise]

I dont really think so...That would explain why he isnt here...

Anyone offering him- / herself to send Scott an email?

[adamanteus]

I'm sure he knows we exist. Some of our members are good freinds of his, I think.

[zooplan]

Scott is very busy with his snakes, posting very few on kingsnake.com too.
Is Alan Francis a member, James?
For Martin Hallmen we have to much small talk, I think.:D

[adamanteus]

Alan isn't a member, although he says he 'has a look' at us sometimes!

Udo, do you know Peter Geissler? I asked him to join us, but he doesn't much like forums!
