i know this might sound bad to people but im trying to say it in the best way possible.. Does anyone have a garter snake that they would give away for free or for cheap? i dont have that much money besides like 20 bucks. i want a different kind of garter than the ones we have here. stertalis stertalis.(spelling)... and another question, how do you guys get melanistic garters? do you buy them? or find them? can any garter be melanistic? or is it a cross breed of some sort?
