One of my facebook friends has posted pics of this beauty, he said an 11 year old boy found it in the wild and brought it to show him :) I think it looks stunning and should definatly be bred from in the future. I just wish I lived in the States so I might be able to go and see it in person.

I pick up on old threads by watching what the guests are looking at.

I checked to see when Chuck put the pics on his facebook and it was months ago, how did I miss that lol. Still a cool looking snake in my opinion :)

I love the blue eyes. I'd love to have a garter with eyes like that. :D

Chuck just told me it went to a garter breeder in IN and is doing well :)

it was bought for $2200, I hope the buyer doesn't mind me saying how much it went for :/

It went for more than that, if you count the promises that were a part of the deal as well! too much for an underweight specimen, if you ask me. regardless, I sincerely hope it does well and prospers!

It looks like a little female and I think, she won´t back up the investment soon.
A male would be able to sire a lot of interesting coloured females.

If they really minded, you wouldn't know how much it went for. Probably don't know anyway.:cool: That's really none of our business. That's between the purchaser and the seller. Shannon, I don't think the pic shows the snake being in such bad shape as to make it a risky or bad deal. After all, that amazing looking male blue anery we've been discussing was in much worse shape than that. I went for it and decided to see if I could save him just because he's simply one of the most stunning looking anery's I've seen.

He's doing well now and is gaining body mass thankfully.

I'm sure that piebald, in the hands of an experienced keeper, is in much better shape now too.
