Phil Blais garter contact info? for flame garters.

[Philminator]

Infernalis on another site said he knew of a guy in Canada that had garters but never told me his info :P would anyone here happen to know of Dr. Phil Blais? he lives only a few hours from me but I can't find anything at all on him. He appearantly breeds san fran garters and specializes in flames to where some have been nick named Blais Flame garters. I know I've posted something similar at one point about canadian garter snake breeders and it pretty much was a dead end road but this guy seems to be known by everyone yet I can't find how to get in touch with him as I am off to Montreal in a week or so and wish to pick up some garters from him.

You will not be able to get snakes from him. From what I understand, and have been told, is that Phil will not even talk to anyone about selling any garter snakes now. I doubt you will even be able to get in touch with him. Contact Charles Parenteau for more info on that one.

You might drop Scott F. a PM. When I googled "Dr. Phil Blais" I get a couple articles written by Scott. Maybe he has some info.
Just a thought.

what happened? is he fed up with it? I have tried talking to Scott but the price for shipping to Canada from US for a few snakes is roughly 500$ from what I remember.

no... apparently it involves legal troubles or something. I don't think it's legal for Phil to sell you any snakes and that's why he won't.... it's the reason you do not see Blais flames, anywhere, ever....

weird because in Quebec where were both from we're allowed to have native species of garters with no license as long as you don't have more than 2 and as for other species the sky is the limit. I wonder if his flames were considered native or something. Ah well

they are eastern garter snakes, aren't those native?

ah then those are native yes, but depending where in quebec you are located it is 100% legal to own and sell them, the only catch is the amount you're allowed to have. I guess if you breed and sell native species of garters :P it might be difficult as you're likely over the 10 max limit depending where you are.

DrBlais is a good friend of mine and he don't sell garter snake anymore and I dont think he answer to all his Email only the lucky one like me =)....I hope my Flame will have babies someday she is bigger and bigger I think it's four months since she bred with the male !!??And those flame were found where there is the most beautiful flame you can find here in Quebec !!!I dont know why it's so long!??

where is the underground market for buying garters in canada?!?!

under a rock?
laying near rail road tracks?
sitting on the side of a creek?

I wish it were easier to find a breeder in canada than it is to actually go out and find a snake
