I went out for a quick herp trip today near my friend Gigi's house. Pulled out 2 easterns, then went to grab a snake that looked a little odd. Pulled it up and it turned out to be a butler's! She's beautiful and definitely gravid, and boy is she a sweety! From here on out, I'm going to try and get this wonderful species into the hobby. :P

Are American raised Garters available to the european public, or do they fall under some quarantine rule?

There are no quarantine rules controlling the movement of reptiles into the UK. The only set-back is the high price of shipping from the US.

Well, in Mi, there are no limits on these guys, and most of the other states (I think only Iowa, Wisconsin, and Ohio) where they're wild and threatened all you have to do is have a permit to keep them. Otherwise, they're up for grabs statewide AND nationwide, assuming any person on the other half of the globe wants them. :P

Nice Butler's, Kyle!!
But I'm secretly bitter that it's legal for you to keep them only a few miles from where I can't!!:D Stupid borders.........

Ok, now, look, one of our clients is Canadian and he came in here today to pay his vet bill... wanted to give me a "hug" for all the help I've given him... and the bugger unhooked my bra!! LOL In a FLASH... he's good!! LOL I asked him if that was a typical Canadian greeting... he said it is where HE comes from. So, Anji, how're the customs in YOUR neck of the woods??!!!
