Hi all~
I was in Petco today to buy some minnows and stopped by the reptile department (like always...) to see what they had and saw some new garters. There was one little common garter in the corner, but there were two that i recognized from threads here as Indonesian garters. From close observation for a few minutes I believe they are a male and female pair, slightly thin, but nice and active. One appears to maybe have mites (small bumps under a few scales), but aside from that they appear pretty healthy. I am sorely tempted to go back and buy them, but probably ought not as I have little space as it is! I've been looking them up, and have read in a few posts that they are really nice tempered snakes. Is this the experience of all here who have, or have owned, these animals? Are they very uncommon? I would guess not, probably, if Petco has them, but I doubt they know what kind they are... Any thoughts or observations from those with experience with these snakes is very welcome, thanks.
