Greetings ... but I think you'll find that exporting to SA has some serious red tape and costs involved. You should check all of your local legal requirements and ensure the safe/comfortable transport of your snakes ... and I would suggest to anyone considering a sale to use paypal for the money side of things. I have to say, no disrespect intended, but there certainly are a lot of money scams involving collection fees via a postage scam/money laundering from Africa. So guarranteed payment through a service such as paypal is a must (do not under any circumstances accept a western union money transfer or similar).

Welcome! I hope you enjoy it here and I also hope that you can get some more reptiles! lol!

Thanks Everyone :) I feel very welcome here!!

I know it is not easy to import and export "live" products internationally, and with the new laws coming into play here in SA, the exotic trade is going to suffer a little :(

But I know that garters is not on the list of exotics that is under threat of being invasive.

So export or import shouldn't be to much of a problem.

But thanks everyone!! :D really warm welcome :D
