Buying a new snake

[rtcphoto]

I bought a Wandering Garter from him about 2 months ago and she has been great. It is a class pet and has acclimated nicely.
The order was sent promptly and was exactly as described. "Slick" began eating immediatley and has been a total joy for my class.
I believe he is a middle man and has arrangements set-up with different breeders depending on the species you require.
The home location is located in NY, but the animal arrived from Nevada,
Anyway, it was a good experience and he responded to all questions.

hmmmm...I'd be leary of them right off when th ey spell garter "gartner".... They have a red sided garter listed just as thamnophis sirtalis...should be thamnophis sirtlais parietalis...and until I see the pic on the other one....don't know what it is...

oooops...cut off my post before I was done....some odd stuff.... they have a pic of a wandering garter, have the scientific name right, but it says "Garder snake - wandering"... the checkered garters have the wrong name....and they are less than the normal checkered that just say "thamnophis ssp"....duh.....then theylist albino checkereds for 39, normals for 50????? then I found black headed garter snakes coniophanes fissidens. Did a google search, its a yellow bellied snake...no relation to garters....never heard of a tropical garter snake either....thamnophis marcianus preocularis...that is a Mexican species of checkered garter.... found these and others on the other snakes list....gotta wonder when they get names all messed up like that......
