Long time lurker, finally took the bait...

[MasSalvaje]

Hello everyone, I have been poking my head in to take a peek every now and then but I have finally chosen to take the bait. Don B. was the one that referred me to the forum to begin with so to start, Thanks Don!

I am still in school going into secondary education but have always loved Herps. I have been catching garters as long as I can remember, they have always been one of my favorites to have in my collection and even more so to find in the wild.

Here are some pics of my Garter collection, I included my Xenochrophis vittatus but don't worry I have left out all of my other non-thamnophis.



This is my Xenochrophis vittatus that I have mentioned in another post.




This is my Erythristic Eastern Garter. She, as with my pair of T. s. similis, came from Scott Felzer's stock.



This is my male T. s. similis, he is very grumpy and has attitude issues. He takes a shot at me everytime I stick my hand anywhere near him.



An finally this is my Female T. s. similis, she has very nice color and a very good disposition, which I hear is rare among similis.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

Yes I do get my crickets for my frogs at Petco, but that is where my loyalty ends. The Xeno was actually given to me by a neighbor. He said it wouldn't eat the crickets he was feeding it and asked if I wanted it. Like I stated in another thread he is awesome and I am actually looking to find a couple more.
