Wishlist 2008

[Sputnik]

I could imagine most of you are like me... "No, this is it, this is my last snake. No, really, I just can't get any more. Definately not. Apart from, well, maybe just this one. Oh, yeah, and that one. But that's it then. No more!!!" :D

Anyway, I think I will be deliriously happy if I could add a little melanistic garter and a Thamnophis cyrtopsis ocellatus- Eastern black necked garter snake.

What's on your list for this year?

[adamanteus]

I have both of those already, Esther.:p
This year I have ordered 1.1 sirtalis 'Flames' and 1.2 'high red' parietalis. I might be tempted by others, depending how the tank construction goes.
I definitely need a male sirtalis Florida Blue, and maybe more female radix, if I can find exceptionally well coloured ones.:)

[Sputnik]

Any babies expected this year, James? ;)

[adamanteus]

Possibly marcianus and radix. I don't really mind this year, with all my snakes being young. It's next year I have high hopes for!;)

[gregmonsta]

I want a replacement Squiggles!!!

[Lori P]

Well... *blushing*... it's not exactly a garter... but I really, really want a western hognose. I keep thinking of that little guy at the expo who tried to burrow into my hand and I keep wishing I'd gotten him.

BUT THEN THAT'S IT!! REALLY!!

Unless I can find a purple garter... :D

[Sid]

What I would really love to add to my collection is T. scaliger, Mesa Central Blotched, but not exspecting that to be possible:
T. atratus zaxanthus, Diablo Range
T. atratus atratus, Santa Cruz

And NO thats not all. It is however, what I hope to get this year:D

[Stefan-A]

I'd like a fistful of parietalis babies. ;)

Maybe a vagrans male and a terrestris couple. Believe it or not, but I'm pretty satisfied with what I've got.

(my life time wish list is pretty long)
so this year I want to get a male melanistic eastern
a female eastern - either flame or erythristic - not sure yet
a melanistic wandering - preferably female
there's lots more I want . . .

[GarterGuy]

LOL...I was just thinking of starting a post on this!:D I pretty much want to eventually end up with three pairs of garters and a small colony of Maritimes (T.s.pallidulus), so......
For me..2008
1.0 "High red" T.s.concinnus

3 more T.s.pallidulus (not sure what sex, don't knwo what I have already).... 1 high red, 1 high green (should actually have these two "on order" for the spring) and then maybe something "else" like a melanistic, hypomelanistic or "blue"

And on pair of something REALLY cool
T.e.terrestris
Erythristic T.radix
Saskatchewan T.radix
Melanistic T.e.vagrans
T.c.ocellatus
T.a.zaxanthus
"White sided" T.s.fitchi
T.scaliger

....this will give me a nice collection of 11 garters, enough to keep me happy.:)

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

[Sid]

whats a white-sided fitchi
Reed, it would be a Valley Garter with white lateral strips, if I not mistaken.

[GarterGuy]

Yep that's it......Fon's has a great pic of one on his garter site. I've never seen any like that before or since. It's a really stunning looking snake in my opinion.

[GarterGuy]

Reed, here's a link to the page that has the pics...... Kousebandslangen.nl (http://www.kousebandslangen.nl/index1.htm)

[adamanteus]

It's a really stunning looking snake in my opinion.

Wow! I just followed your link to that picture.... that is a fantastic looking snake!:eek:

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

i cant find the white-sided one?? where is it?

[adamanteus]

Go to sirtalis, then Fotos, then fitchi.... it's the first one.

[drache]

it's kind of like white wall tires - very fifties looking

[Snaky]

Since I don't have much room, my real list is very short and I have ordered them, so if everything goes well I'll have them this year:cool::
2.2 Thamnophis eques cuitzeoensis

Additionally I have a maybe wish list, but that's a big maybe:
-An additional, unrelated couple Th. hammondii
-2.2 Th. Melanogaster canescens

[enigma200316]

well my list is for every Garter I think is kool, which is virtually all of them,
so it comes down to money and time.......when will I have the money and
when am I gonna get them...............:D

[adamanteus]

Actually Justin, I'm with you on that. If I had the money, the space and the time, my wish would be to have the 'full set'.... every Garter species and sub-species... but as that isn't likely to happen for me this week, I'll content myself with the few new additions I already have on order.

As a group though, I bet we could attain that goal.....

[gregmonsta]

I want a replacement Squiggles!!!

Have now got to add oregon redspots to the list (of course I really want all of them)

[scorpio]

Hi,

I like to buy some male animals. Because my males dye rather quick allways. I need an african gecko ( the are difficult to get, even if it should be snake feeding), because my last dyed with rachitis, and I like to buy a anolis carolinensis because my last had broken his leg in an accidant.

Then I like to buy a femal thamnophis sirtalis parietalis, but my mother refuse it. Next thing I buy is an aqurium for my fishes, because mine is too small.
