    Do people buy Common Garter Snakes?

    This is just a question I have been wondering. Everyone is selling or wanting fancy garters... Do people want common Garters ever? Like Eastern Garters are more of what I'm talking about?

    Just a random question

    Some are common, just not common in the buyer's area.

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

    Common, as in normal? I can tell you they buy easterns, flames are easterns. But, a normal eastern isn't as sold as often, but it is. All species are sold in their normal morph.

    I understand people would want something more exotic than common I guess but it's just the fact that you can't find them for sale ANYWHERE!!! I would think they would be common to buy as well?

    And yeah, I'm talking about a pure Eastern Garter.

    Yea they are sold. They just aren't purposely bred in numbers, since they can be found easily, and aren't as rare as others.

    I commonly sell "normal" easterns, I have a couple very pretty "normal" ladies and a handsome little male that likes making babies with them.

    Never had a problem placing them in good homes.

    It's very easy to sell garters. Good starter pets, always a demand. I sell them at $10 each pretty easily.
