This years' aquisitions

[adamanteus]

There have been a few posts recently requesting this or that species, and it got me wondering.... what Garters are you guys hoping/planning to get this year?

I have already ordered 1.2 parietalis and 1.2 sirtalis 'Flames'. No doubt I'll be tempted by one or two other species/sub-species as babies come onto the market. Certainly if any of the Mexican species or hammondii come available, I'll be buying those!:D

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

lol i can't get anything untill i pay my mom back for some cages i got

[Snake lover 3-25]

I just want an adult male eastern... maybe one with some orange

[Stefan-A]

1.1 T. elegans terrestris "red morph" (if I can find the kind that almost looks like parietalis)
1.0 T sirtalis parietalis (adult preferred)
1.0 T elegans vagrans (unrelated to the females I have)

[adamanteus]

I love the 'red morph' terrestris too... but I doubt I'll be able to find them. Hence, they aren't on this years list for me.

[Stefan-A]

Daniel had of the red morphs last year, but I think they were the wrong red ones. :)

[adamanteus]

Did he really? I like the very red ones.... as featured in a recent thread (I forget which one)

[Stefan-A]

Looked through my saved private messages. Here's what was available last summer:

CB 2006
Tham. eleg. terrestris "red morph" 26.06.06 3,2,0 € 55,00 - 70,00
Tham. eleg. terrestris "red morph" 26.06.06 0,2,0 € 35,00
Tham. eleg. terrestris "red morph" 27.06.06 1,3,0 € 55,00 - 70,00

[adamanteus]

I might have to re-think my 2008 shopping list then!

[drache]

I did have a wish list (still do - a "some time in the future" one)
at this time, however, there is very little that can tempt me
at the top of my temptation list is a mate for Chloe, Terry's maritime
next would be a mate for Mesa, the infernalis from Tori
then there is the equipment wish list
everything else is future wish list

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

I want:

1.2 parietalis
1.2 cali redsided
1.1 eastern blacknecks
1.1 santa cruz
1.0 Florida blue

"CB 2006
Tham. sirt. sirtalis "florida blue" erythristc 07.07.06 7,4,4 € 35,00 - 60,00" ;)

I don't know how much he likes that I post last year's snakes, but there it is.

[osubeaver22]

I might want a puget from Reed, but probably not. Snakelovinbabe said I can maybe get something from her, or drache since she is so close.

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

so 2 males with 1 female?

I just want an adult male eastern... maybe one with some orange

[ssssnakeluvr]

I am hoping to get a pair of red western terrestrials, western blacknecks, maritimes, another male or 2 normal easterns, possibly some puget babies, and a couple valley garters, oh, and maybe some northwesterns.....

Who's advert is that, Stefan?:)

[Stefan-A]

That's Daniel's. He sent me a pretty comprehensive list last summer, when I was looking for more snakes (ended up buying the vagrans babies from him). I think he posted the same one in the classifieds section here, but I'm not sure. The ads I'm posting are OLD, so nobody make any decisions based on them, okay? :D

[Sid]

1.1 T s concinnus- Red-spotted (don't let me down, Don)
1.1 T Radix (Red morph)
1.1 T a zaxanthus- Diablo Range (if I can find them)

[reptileparadise]

Haven't ordered anything yet

But I'm trying to go for blue this year.
If affordable, Thamnophis sirtalis simillis
Thamnophis sirtalis pickeringii

Would love to get some thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis 'flame' too...

[Zephyr]

I'm getting Butler's, some albino checkereds *Yep, found some! :D*, and if Reed's pudget has babies, then a pair of those. :P

[anji1971]

I'll be more than happy if I can find a Maritime or two in New Brunswick this summer. And I should have no problem finding another Eastern right here at home. That's about all I have room for at the moment!

[ssssnakeluvr]

I am hoping to get some butler's also........:D

[Zephyr]

I am hoping to get some butler's also........:DOh my. I smell tradebait! :D

[ssssnakeluvr]

[Snaky]

Well, kinda old, but I hadn't answered this one yet :D

2.2 Thamnophis eques cuitzeoensis are already ordered
if I find some nice ones:
1.1 or 2.2 Thamnophis sirtalis pickeringii (blue Puget Sound one's)

[Snaky]

Sure, if I already picked mine:D;)

[reptileparadise]

Fine by me...Just promise you won't pick the blueest ones! :D

Nah, just kidding...But I defenitly would like to add some blue to the collection...and maybe some more red...

[zooplan]

before I may order some new snakes I first have to sell some, all my enclosures are layed out.
I´m sure my wife will give me no further space for further enclosures:mad:

I feel sorry for you, Udo :(
Lucky for me Gijs is also crazy about garters, so we can't really have enough, lol !! But believe it or not we actually running out of space here, so this year we only looking for some more blue pickeringii's.

[anji1971]

My husband nearly faints when I mention having a dozen..............:rolleyes:

[Lori P]

My husband gave up fainting long ago... now he just casts suspicious looks around whenever he enters the house because he never knows what new critter lurks... LOL!!

[Tori]

I'm very lucky too. My "boyfriend"..? there has to be a better name for him at my age!...loves my garters, though he does flinch at the idea of me getting anything that grows even 5 ft long or longer. He won't touch them, but is all for me getting more garters. He loves to watch them and doesn't mind helping me build more cages. Who could ask for more?

[anji1971]

Actually, my husband has said he kind of enjoys the smaller snakes, it's just that he doesn't want to have to buy food for more than a few.
But someday I'd really like a Pine snake, so I think I'll get one while it's very small, and just 'forget' to tell him they grow to six feet............:D:D

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Well since all the girls are talking about how their significant other's react to their cold blooded companions....I am very lucky. when I met my boyfriend a year and something months ago when his family came over for our new years party, he knew that his little sister and my brother never let him alone about meeting me... but when he finally met me he was like... holy crap... I am surrounded by a bunch of snakes and this drunk girl is showin' em to me.

he had no idea about anything about a snake!!! the first thing i ever did with him was took him into the snake room and let him hold a snake for the first time ever. He has since really taken a liking to my hobby, he doesn't own any himself but he embraces the fact that I live breath and think snake... all the time. He travels to shows with me and even got me Sledge, my endearing little hognose for V-day.

I have since asked him if he thought I was weird when he first met me for having suc an obsession with snakes. His response was "Well sort of, but I thought you were pretty, then I learned that you were smart and I was very relieved"

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

but to help get this thread back on track...

I plan on selling all of my adult corns this year to make room for more garters!!!

[zooplan]

:D
I´ve got permission to build an outdoor enclosure at the backyard of the new firm I´start to working, so there is a Highway to keep some more Thamnophinii
:D

[Snaky]

That sounds great, Udo. Keep us updated on it! I'm certainly interested in pictures of your progress :)

[Serpentine99]

kinda late on this thread but i plan to get some albino radix, red sided or another gulf coast Ribbon, and i plan to obtain some sirtalis stock from the pretty snakes in my own back yard. The reason for my limited list this year is my family still is against the whole buying the snake thing, most of them ive obtained when their "we're not getting anymore snakes"defences are down. But they love the Iguana, and hes about ready for a new cage, so what could we possibly do with that huge empty terranium...?:D
