    Buying a Garter?

    I'm interested in buying a Garter (in the spring) but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. I want one that is under $50, so probably a baby which is fine with me. Also, I want a bluish or reddish colored. I was thinking maybe one of the following:

    Red-Sided Garter
    Blue Striped Garter
    Florida Blue Garter
    Pudget Sound Garter

    I'd like suggestions on what kind to get, altough I would like any kind that's cheap and have exotic colors.

    The best place to start would be right here, in our classifieds section..... it won't be long before it is full with members' captive bred Garters for sale!

    All I can say is don't go to Petco. Only go to a pet store you trust implicitly. I'm getting my next snake from Steve/Guidofatherof5 in a couple of weeks.

    I might have Puget Sound garter babies in about 2-3 months

    the second best place to start is Scott Felzer's Garter Snakes, specializing in aberrant garters but prices can be alot on some of the more rare speicies and morphs

    Re: Buying a Garter?

    shipping is pricey - and you don't want to cut corners there
    are you anywhere near other forum members?
    then you can just pick up your baby and have a nice visit with a fellow garter geek
