    My new Santa Cruz

    These little gaffers are well travelled. In the last week alone they have gone from: North Carolina to Florida to California then all the way up to Alberta, Canada. They're settling in great and are eating as I type this. I excitedly took a couple of quick pics last night before I put them away to settle into their new homes & wanted to share.

    I don't know how many Santa Cruz garters are in collections up here in Canada but these may be the only ones, if not they're definitely quite rare up here. Regardless I'm just so excited to have them and am blown away by how nicer they look in person, more than I even expected.

    I wanted also to thank Scott Felzer for these & my buddy Jim Dyke for picking them up in Daytona for me. They both went above and beyond during the process and I appreciate it, thanks guys!

    Here's the female. I was blown away by how black she is.


    The baby male. Can't wait to see him grow up.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Thanks everyone. It's funny how excited one can get over something so small. I'm still on cloud 9, so glad I was able to get them.
