grass snakes

hey shannon thanks for the info, i figured they were more of a challenge than garter snakes, thats awesome, minus the one that you lost, and i thought they would be rather expensive, i have come accross three before at shops i have absolutely no idea why i didnt purchase them there but it happens, ill try my best to find them, i did a loong time ago see someone advertise them on kingsnake.com but i have not seen any on there since and that was five years ago, i guess i'll just have to keep my eyes peeled, and if you ever have eggs later on....I'm In lol lol, but i'm sure they were worth the 400 though, they are quite beautiful, i've always wanted natrix natrix, and natrix maura since i was a young boy after watching pbs and i saw one eating a toad on there i was like WHOOOAAA haha

Being the funny (or annoying) guy that I am, I'd still rather have a viv with a few vine snakes.

[Faunaofthenorth]

ahh ur not annoying, id like those too, especially the ones with the adapted eyesight that'd be cool, i'm just a huuuge fan of the natricinae family, don't know why but i am, and besides natrix, ive always wanted a clonophis, or kirtland's snake, although i'm aware that they are very rare now so i'm no longer as interested, and would rather keep them in the wild then possibly have one die on me if ya know what i mean

I'm always looking for cheap reptile enclosures on craigslist. I found a 29 gallon long with slide lock top for $15 and a 20 gallon for $12. Going to snatch those up today. Anyway, in the process of looking through the ads, low and behold, I find a 4 foot asian vine snake for adoption! very tempting but I want to fill these tanks with Thams! Besides that, this vine snake will only eat anoles. That can get a bit expensive and in recent years, many of the pet stores around here don't even carry them.

Oh, also found a male 6 foot everglades rat snake. He's a beauty. Again, very tempting.

sweet man how ironic huh? haha, man i wish i lived in the everglades, yea i know there are alligators but i'm not afraid of alligators, whats weird is that in virginia, mn, which is where i live, its waaaay up in northern minnesota, a friend of mine has a 5 foot alligator, i was like no way he was like yea my dad's had it for years, they turned their entire basement into a giant enclosure and they feed it chickens and other things like that, but yea craigslist is sweat

I believe it's illegal to keep an american alligator as a pet. They actually used to sell babies in the pet stores here when I was a kid. Caimans remained legal in WA up until a couple of years ago.

[Faunaofthenorth]

yea i believe so too, i kno that he had to go through the DNR or something and he rescued it from being killed that's all i kno but anyways, ever get bit bye a large water snake??? now thatll keep u on ur toes, i had a broad-banded in high school and man he would tair my skin off like a glove pretty much, well actually it was a she, many times i went to school with blood all over the teachers once thought i was a masicist, lol but i wasnt i just told them i have a really powerful snake haha

[ConcinusMan]

I had a 7 foot gopher snake tear me wide open before. Needed stitches! That was only because of the reflex to jerk back.

[Faunaofthenorth]

ahh yes the gopher snake powerful animal, but on topic i'm still gonna look for grass snakes, i still really want one although i'm STILL looking for a smooth green snake although i'm into other snakes now more so but ive still always wanted one

it isn't here

although I wish it was, because people simply should not have access to alligators as pets.
