I couldn't resist...

I couldnt resist. Went to the reptile show looking for pinkies, they didn't have any, ended up having to just get a checkered garter snake.

HE'S AWESOME!!

Pictures later, he bit me 3 times.

Baby? Juvie? Adult? More info please!

[RedSidedSPR]

Baby of course, living with my others. I'll measure him, but probable 7 inches. Jumpy at the moment, bit me 3 times, I'm gonna see if he'll eat when I feed the others.

Silly question! I love Checkereds! Not as much as Plains though!

No you don't but you put all your other snakes at risk if you don't.
You might get lucky and nothing happens. I hope that's the case.
A strict quarantine period protect both the new and old snakes.
It's well worth the time since the introduction of some diseases can kill an entire group or collection.
It's something you have to implement and enforce.

Sure you get another checkered, but my little NW still need a home....

Bit you? No way! I wonder if it's WC. My two albinos are as tame as can be.

Steve has a point. Be careful. Captive snakes from these shows can and often do introduce some nasty diseases/mites, etc. that I don't even see in WC snakes.
