    Re: Garters with kids

    I want to get a northwestern, just to see how similar their behavior is, but the only ones that have turned up at my local population reptile show looked almost identical to my butlers. Id like to get one that doesn't resemble my local snakes to avoid confusion.

    Butlers twine and hold onto fingers. Nearly impossible to provoke into biting. Small species (20If inches) does we'll in small enclosures. Thrives on worms so easy to feed for the squeamish (no rodents needed. Low food bill.)

    Brachiostoma- runny snake. Bit and drew blood repeatedly. Small species, but protected.

    Young Puget sound garter- doesn't twine or hold on much. Hates to be squeezed or have movement restricted by any pressure at all. Fast mover when spooked.

    Easterns- climb over hands, will wedge body in folds of clothing to feel secure and to climb for a better view, but don't hug with body much. Grow very large and may intimidate snake shy people. Big eater
    Big pooper.

    Marcianus- pretty colors, some will eat readily in front of strangers an
    d even accept food from unfamiliar hands. May try to eat unfamiliar hands. May grow quite large. Big eaters and poopers.
