How did you find this forum?

[Stefan-A]

I'm curious, how did all of you find this forum?

Personally, I think I found it through Google.

[guidofatherof5]

If I remember correctly(it's all a blur, now) I googled the word thamnophis.

[jitami]

Someone... I believe you? Stephen, pointed me this direction.

[indigoman]

I'am new to the computer usage if you can believe that ! My daughter was showing me how to log on and look things up. I came across this forum ! Destiny, I can even down load and post pictures now with some help!

[ConcinusMan]

I googled "red-spotted garter snake".

I was intending to get back into snakes again, and get a few this coming spring and I was trying to show a friend what the snakes I used to have, looked like. I was so surprised to see other concinnus owners, and I saw all of the other awesome garters you guys have, so I just had to join. Seriously, when I first got my concinnus long ago, nobody was interested in them. Nobody. Couldn't find anyone anywhere that owned them either.

I even placed an ad offering yearling CB concinnus to people in 'snake circles'. Nobody showed any interest if you can believe that. Ultimately, I released around 150 over the years.

I was always on the old thamnophis.com site....then it disappeared and this one started....I think I am one of the very first people to sign up on here!

[Charis]

Good old Google! I was thinking about getting a male garter & was trying to look up different species of them & this site came up.

[drache]

I was a member of the old site.
wow - a veteran

it was surely google that got me here - I had a snake I wasn't sure about
what puzzles me now is what I googled to get here because I don't recall thinking that it was a garter

[ConcinusMan]

Could have been a photo search result that led you here.

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

hahaha.... I googled "does anyone actually like garter snakes"

because as I started realizing I really like garter snakes... I thought.... my god, I am crazy... NO ONE likes garter snakes!!! As a teen I had many other kinds of snakes, kings, corns, pythons, boas... but somehow I kept gravitating back to my garters. I kept thinking to myself... is this normal??? shouldn't I be past garter snakes by now???? Little did I know...

Shannon,
I know what you mean. I have many different snakes but my heart belongs to Thamnophis. Radix in particular.

[ConcinusMan]

Me too. I'm really fond of some gopher snakes and rat snakes and I've kept kings/milks for their beauty but my favorite buddies have always been garters. Of course it's normal, garters are fun to interact with and they have great personalities on top of being very easy to care for. What's not to like?

And hey, Steve, I know how you feel. I'm sure you'd be fond of concinnus too. Females get big, they're smart, and very lovable too. Just like radix. I'll have to get you one or two this spring.

[brubru2]

I needed help with caring for my garters, and I don't trust the local PETsMART, so I googled "garter snake care" which evantually led me to the forum.

P.S: The reason I can't trust PETsMART is because they gave me the wrong info on caring for my Uromastyx a while ago, that lead to his death.

[Dameco13]

i found this site when i googled "foods for baby garter snake" and it pulled up this site and i was automaticly interested and registered

[Pinky]

I know it was google. I think I googled 'garter snake forums' or Marie did, neither one of us can remember and Thamnophis.com popped up!;)

[Stefan-A]

Someone... I believe you? Stephen, pointed me this direction.
Right, that was over at kingsnake.

[count dewclaw]

I "googled" garter snake.....

[bkhuff1s]

I was on kingsnake and had a member tell me to join, it might have been shannon... not sure. It's been a while since then

[Mommy2many]

I believe I also googled garter snake and/or garter snake food.

[mustang]

i was lookn for info on my new pet checker online and found this place when i googled garter snake

[jitami]

Someone... I believe you? Stephen, pointed me this direction.

Okay, this typo is driving me nuts! I already apologized to Stefan... My son's middle name is Stephen and with all the college apps lately it seems I've been typing Shane Stephen way too often and it just slid out. Sadly I didn't notice it until too late to edit the post. Driving me insane I tell you :(:mad::(

And, yes, it was from kingsnake :)

[Snaky]

Other members pointed me to it. :)

[stonyloam]
