    Melanistic Eastern

    After about 2 weeks of not eating, I decided to let Hugh go. He was a wild snake and I felt bad about keeping him locked up in an aquarium. But....I e-mailed Scott Felzer to see if he has any Melanistic Easterns ( Gorgeous snakes) because I really want to stay in on this whole Garter business, so hopefully I'll have a new snake soon So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

    I know that must have been a tough decision...good job. Hopefully you can get another soon, who knows you may find another wild one that eats right away for you.

    Ditto on what Jerry just said.

    Those Melanistic easterns are handsome snakes....

    Jason, I applaud you for thinking of Hugh's well being first. That must have been a tough decision, though. Hopefully Scott has something wonderful for you

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

    I've emailed Scott twice in the last two months asking about a melanistic eastern. I have yet to receive a reply from him. I hope you have better luck!
