Jimi,

Scott doesn't offer the Narrow Head Garter. I've been trying to find them as well. If I uncover anything, I post you.

Butlers are not illegal in Ohio. You must have a permit that costs $45, if you want to breed them.

I am trying to find specimens and start a colony, but have been unable to find any thus far.
