    Favorite Snakes

    what is your favorite type of garter snake?

    Mine is the San Francisco Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis tetrataenia) although they are illegal to catch or possess, due to their very small population... they are very colorful and if i could own one i would...
    see this website for more information on them... The San Francisco Garter Snake

    1.3 eastern garters
    1 midland painted turtle
    1 bernese mountain dog
    1 half siamese cat

    T. Ordinoides
    Easy to handle and tame, even wild caught ones like mine
    I own two Northwestern Garters (T. ordinoides)
    One's got white stripes (name: White Lightning) and the other has yellow(Yellow Lightning)
