I'm coming over to Alberta to steal this....... http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/atta...g-100_1436.jpg Very Nice.

Looks just like the one I got from Shannon. Heck, for all I know, it is that one.

Nope this is an Albertan Born n Raised fellow, Bred by Spanketyne down in Calgary, I drove 3hours to go get that little guy Then 3hours home with him peering at me from under the shavings almost the whole way.

Settling in nicely. Ate a fuzzy last night. Here are some of him in a different light. The 'Wet' looking stuff in the foreground is clear silicone that is holding the leaf sprigs in place.IMAG0991.jpgIMAG0994.jpgIMAG0996.jpg

Looking good, Rod.
Eating already, nice.

He last ate on Wednesday so I figured that he would be a little peckish. I found out that he had only been getting fed once a week? He's a people snake.... Out watching whats going on all the time.

He's looking less marcianus to me in your pics Rod. Good looking snake whatever he is.

Thanks, Chris. Thats because he isn't one. The snake god looked on me kindly on Wednesday when I found him on the internet. Has to be one of the best things that has happened in the last twelve months. Even more of a surprise to see what he was and what good condition he is in.

Sweet looking northern garter you have there.

The couple that I got him off were told that he was a Chequered T marcianus and the people that they got him off when he was 6mths old were probabley told that he was a 'Northern' T northianus .

northianus? . But seriously, now that we have good clear pics, I'll have to agree. It is a marcianus. Quite a reduced checker pattern, but still a checkered. Very handsome snake. Nice color.
