Garter Snakes for filming

[LisaK]

Hi everyone,

My name is Lisa and I work for a documentary television company in the United Kingdom. We're working on a show for Animal Planet and looking at garter snakes. We'll be filming in Idaho in the next few weeks and I'm looking to film 10-15 (and more if possible) garter snakes at a location in Rexburg.

Does anyone know of any breeders in the area or how I might go about trying to find 'wrangled' snakes?

Cheers,

Lisa

I can't help you with that location but you are welcome to come to the T.radix Ranch in Iowa and film some great T.radix(Plains garter snake) These are captive bred snakes.

If the weather is nice, I imagine you would have no problems at all finding garters in that area. Pay for my trip and I'll gladly go there and wrangle some up for you.:p
