Butler's (T. Butleri) on the Ranch

[-MARWOLAETH-]

Wow they look stunning.Just like ordinoides with their cute little head Do they have the same preference for worms and slugs?

Worms or far.

She has to be the nicest looking butleri that i have ever seen.you are such a lucky guy to have her.

my adult t.butleri (butler's garter snake) just shed and is looking good.
I love her grey/white dorsal stripe and the golden lateral stripe.
Butler's are awesome.

I found this old thread that has a beautiful T.butleri in it. Here's a link.

Very nice! Unfortunately I believe they're prohibited Canada-wide for us Canucks. For sure a no-no in Alberta but I've been told they're one of the few federally protected.

[guidofatherof5]

I think they have a rather small range in Canada but are still protected.

Wow, that Gopher is even redder than my Trax.
Butlerii are protected throughout their range, nut in Michigan they are abundant and an individual may gather 5 garters snakes with a hunting/ fishing license.

The adults are friendly, calm and get along great in classrooms.
Younger (captive born) snakes. Have been, so far, somewhat distressingly delicate outside their native range.

I hope with the help of Steve and others I have gifted with Butlers that we can figure out their quirks.

Wow that "Gimpie Goober" snake is really pretty! The reddish brown on the underneath reminds me of like shoe leather

The new male is doing well. Eating everything and every time I offer. Looks like he is settling nicely.
