Pied Garters.. Has anyone seen this?

[d_virginiana]

I didn't even know there were pied garters, I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this ad? If I had the money and space, this would be really tempting...

Doesnt look like a garter to my
Scott had a pied eastern but it died i think

[RedSidedSPR]

Yeah, he did and it did.

With only that crappy pic, I wouldn't believe it's a garter.

[Starling96]

Yeah, he did and it did.

With only that crappy pic, I wouldn't believe it's a garter.

Is that person claiming they're the one who bought that WC Piebald? Could very easily be a scam... If I bought that snake I would've took more than 1 crappy picture of it ya know.
It sucks to buy hets, especially from a breeder who just popped up out of nowhere?
Seems fishy, and I guess there's no way to know for sure who ended up with that piebald?

Cmon now guys get your facts straight here!!! Scott didn't end up with that pied, to my knowledge it went to Bill Minnick (spelling?) and that's probably him, he NEVER posts online, uses forums, or any of that nonsense. He's very quiet but yes he is the guy that often silently is in the background buying the rare garters. You can ask some others... The snake in the picture IS the pied garter, it only took one look for me to recognize that ugly pattern from previous photos of her (no offense but I do think she was unattractive!) and yes, she really had babies and then really she died. This is all true, I heard it long before this ad was posted. They are legit. Not good to be calling out a scam before you know the facts!

[Starling96]

Cool
She looks very slender.
Maybe that was right before she died?

[RedSidedSPR]

Oh yeah.. duh

OK, but that picture OF a picture would NOT make me buy one.

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

It might be all he has... Like I said he never posts pics or participates in this online stuff....

[annulataarethebest]

I never heard of Bill so of course I'd have to consider that to be a scam before the facts that you presented Shannon. I've been buying and selling reptiles for a decade now and online shopping for snakes always comes down to how good the pictures are. In this case, pictures not so good. Is disappointing to hear that snake died for sure, her stubbed tail reminds me of the water snake I have, amazing either one of those made it to adulthood in the wild really.

Hopefully somebody snags up the babies and makes some more.
