After about 2 weeks of not eating, I decided to let Hugh go. He was a wild snake and I felt bad about keeping him locked up in an aquarium. :( But....I e-mailed Scott Felzer to see if he has any Melanistic Easterns ( Gorgeous snakes) because I really want to stay in on this whole Garter business, so hopefully I'll have a new snake soon :) So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I know that must have been a tough decision...good job. Hopefully you can get another soon, who knows you may find another wild one that eats right away for you.

Ditto on what Jerry just said.

Those Melanistic easterns are handsome snakes....

If you life in Texas you may built a special snake area in your yard, just an outdoor pen without boundary;)

Jason, I applaud you for thinking of Hugh's well being first. That must have been a tough decision, though. Hopefully Scott has something wonderful for you :)

I've emailed Scott twice in the last two months asking about a melanistic eastern. I have yet to receive a reply from him. I hope you have better luck!

Scott replied to my e-mail telling me that he has a gravid female due any time now, soooo hopefully he'll have one available when they're born :)

Sounds like you made a good choice for Hugh. Hope you get that melanistic soon!:)
I'd love to find some of those here in Canada. Not that I have any room left at the moment, but just to know where to look when I do!

Tori, either Scott never recieved your emails, or he has just been plain busy.

His phone number is listed on his web site, give him a call, he's a good chap, and will be happy to talk to you.

Thanks Wayne, after I get moved I will try him again. Maybe by then he'll have those babies.

Why don't we all go to his house, slip a hose under the door, pump in some NOS gas, wait for the "thud" and then kidnap all his garter snakes:D
