    What's with the radix's? :)

    hey guys I am just curious it seems as I look around the site here and a few other places where people love garter snakes that the Radix seems to be the most popular choice and I was wondering why that was? I cannot really seem to find the difference between Radix and a Sirtalis, am I blind?

    well I have read that apperantly the Radix's are more docile then the Sirtalis's and that they are one of the most heavy bodied garter snakes around, wonder if that is part of what makes them so popular. I wish I knew a website where I could buy a garter snake other then the common one.

    nice thanks, I will see if they ship to Canada. My main concern is I want to find a breeder of many types of garter snakes that will ship to Canada.

    I didn't have any luck importing to Canada from Scott. Importing from the US can be tricky and expensive.

    Try Laurence Perron, contact info here: Untitled Document. Site is in French, but email addy works, lol. He's making a purchasing trip to Europe in September for rare rodents and reptiles. He's a great guy to work with, just let him know what you want. He also has contacts for a garter breeder in Canada.

    OK, he doesn't have a clue how to design a website, lol. But his email addy and phone numbers are on the middle of the page:
    perron.laurence@videotron.ca
    514-777-1175
    450-839-6936
    He's really good about replying to email. Tell him Johanne sent you. I haven't tried phoning him.
