Looking for a Checkered Garter Snake

[Boots]

I was wondering if anyone has an idea where I could locate a Checkered Garter (T. marcianus) in Canada? Any information would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

Where in Canada, exactly? You probably have a better chance in major urban centres than in the middle of nowhere (which is where I live).

I live out West, in Edmonton Alberta, but I would be willing to drive to Calgary if need be. I am planning a trip to Vancouver next month, so I might have better luck in the Big City so to speak. While we are the capital city, we only have about 3/4 million people. If anyone is interested, Here is a link for more information on Edmonton .

I live in Nova Scotia, and for reasons I can't explain, we get the Edmonton Global channel on cable. I'm all up to date on Edmonton happenings! Weird.

If there isn't a pet store around where you live, you can actually order snakes online! I was looking on Google and I found corhs.org, but I can't tell if they have any garter snakes.

check the classifieds on kingsnake.com....saw a possibly gravid female for sale. I might have babies next year...as long as my pair gets to breeding size by then, the male will be, but the female might not.
