hi everyone!i just found this forum and i had no idea there was so many of us garter foke.i found only garters as a kid and i got a rush every time i fliped one.could of just been the site of a snake but it was a rush.i got into herps about 5 or 6 years ago and have had it all.i got my first albino checkered garter at a show in ohio 4 years ago.after that i started getting some wc eastern!i found a prego female first and about a week later i was showing my snakes to a freind and when we got to the wc there was a tank full of babys,i was stoked.secound a freind found me a lg blue,blue female from southern ky.then a kid found about 15 garters behind the local pet shop and tryed to give them to me.well i pick out a med male that was even more blue than the lg female,and let the rest go.i was hoping to breed some ky blue grass easterns! the male had skabs/blisters and lasted about a month and passed.the female i had for about a year and she got out of a tank i left the clips off of.and thats just the start of getting into thies really cool snakes!i have a few ball pythons hets/dinkers,all 3 of the blood/short tail pythons,western hog nose, and checkered/eastern garters.all and some very cool american toads!\

Hi otis! Welcome from Missouri!
I had this "sickness" long before I had ever heard of Scott Felzer! Started as a kid and never outgrew it. If anything, just got worse!! And I'm a 40 year old woman!! lol

Howdy and welcome to the forum Otis. Nice collection you've got there. Will be very interested in how your breeding attempts go with the KY blue easterns.
