where did it come from?

Many times when a person catches something like a garter or a dekay's that is special like that... they become stingy and want to keep it but still have no idea how to properly care for a garter... and they assume it can be kept and fed like a cornsnake, once every week or so... they never get it to eat, they don't feed it enough... it dies... etc. I certainly hope that specimen landed in good hands.

A leucistic dekay's found in NJ I heard was not as fortunate. Last I heard... the guy had it on gravel with half water... and the snake still had not eaten after a month and some change, it had babies and they all "died" (starved), but oh no... let's not give/sell it to someone more expierienced! Let's slowly kill that once in a lifetime find!

There's NOTHING wrong with wanting to keep and procreate your rare find... but if you are unable to do so.... well, you all get the idea.
