Hi all! I'm Mix, I've been a 'lurker' here for a while, but I thought it only fair to show my face.

I'm new to keeping snakes for myself, but have experience handling family's snakes, and have 'babysat' my best friend's corn (who was no trouble).

I have wanted a garter for as long as I can remember, and we are on the search now, but am having real trouble finding garters! I have been told that they are not very popular and are 'hard to sell'??
Then I have been offered corns galore, as they are 'easier'...
Is there something sinister about garters I'm unaware of?
Has anyone else in the UK had this problem?

I can locate only 1 garter which is not grown already, an albino checkered born this year, but I have no experience of albinos - do they have any care or health issues that differ from others?

Thank you for reading!

Mix
