    Melanistic Eastern

    After about 2 weeks of not eating, I decided to let Hugh go. He was a wild snake and I felt bad about keeping him locked up in an aquarium. But....I e-mailed Scott Felzer to see if he has any Melanistic Easterns ( Gorgeous snakes) because I really want to stay in on this whole Garter business, so hopefully I'll have a new snake soon So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

    I know that must have been a tough decision...good job. Hopefully you can get another soon, who knows you may find another wild one that eats right away for you.

    Ditto on what Jerry just said.

    Those Melanistic easterns are handsome snakes....

    If you life in Texas you may built a special snake area in your yard, just an outdoor pen without boundary

    Jason, I applaud you for thinking of Hugh's well being first. That must have been a tough decision, though. Hopefully Scott has something wonderful for you

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

    I've emailed Scott twice in the last two months asking about a melanistic eastern. I have yet to receive a reply from him. I hope you have better luck!

    Tori, either Scott never recieved your emails, or he has just been plain busy.

    His phone number is listed on his web site, give him a call, he's a good chap, and will be happy to talk to you.
