If you're talking about Haz, he bred his checkered garters and got a beautiful litter that's for sure. He's pretty much like me I think. Just a hobbiest that produces a litter now and then. No huge operation, just a few snakes. I produce litters of concinnus', and sometimes northwesterns but really no more than a litter or three each year. No website. I'm not really running a business selling snakes and I don't think Haz does that either. He and I both just sell a few babies each year that we get from breeding our snakes, but we don't do it for profit necessarily. Selling a litter or two each year, or a few snakes here and there really only helps to offset the cost of keeping our own collections. At least that's the level I'm operating at.

Haz is in Canada, so unless you are too, buying his snakes won't be practical. Still, there's plenty of checkered garter snakes bred every year by many people right here in the U.S. Not hard to find at all, and they are very inexpensive.

Yeah, that's two people with baby checkered garters that you've asked about. Both of them are in Canada. Crossing international borders with our snake sales is complicated and very expensive. However, in Spankenstyne's thread, on the first page you'll see an anerythristic oregon red spotted garter.

That's the one and only snake I ever sold that made it out of the U.S. into Canada. However, it was included in a large export shipment of reptiles worth thousands of dollars. If it wasn't for that, it wouldn't be cost effective to export garters to other countries, even if it's just Canada to our north. I cannot and/or will not ship outside the U.S. I shipped the snake to an exporter in Florida. Chris (Spankenstyne) took care of the export end of things. Exports are usually done once or twice a year and really aren't worth doing at all unless you're talking about a huge lot of animals and thousands, if not tens of thousands in value. Hardly worth bothering for a $35 garter snake but the export was happening anyway, so we threw in a few garters.

He's in Canada (New Brunswick) he just hasn't changed his info yet. I think it does US by default if you don't change anything.

[ConcinusMan]

Well that changes everything.

[Marcman2k4o]
