[GartersRock]

Count me in on the hunt! I've been hunting these for a while now!

[Garter_Gertie]

Gertie, you and I are on a hunt. We MUST FIND these here in the US. And we MUST find enough for both of us. I am in ocellatus fever now!!!!!!

I HEAR you! Lori, I'm sweating black and yellow! I have never seen a more beautiful garter - well, pretty much enkneeweigh - than those oceies!

Gods! I've GOT TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE!!!!!! Maybe breed? I don't WANT to breed! I'll breed those. Yeah. I will.

Jeez-Louise! I MUST HAVE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lori, maybe we go could 50-50 on the 500L (pound) shipping fee over here? I wonder what that would be....

Rocker, you're in.

500L split three ways.

Sabine, if you will send me a sexed pair, I'll sell the babies and give YOU the money. All I want is one or two for me. I don't care about the money - you can have it. I just NEED THOSE SNAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we all just need to move to Texas...

If I knew we could ship them safely overseas... but would they really be able to handle that kind of shipping stress???

Yeah. As James mentioned to someone here, all garters - the Thamnophis - are all from the Americas. And there's plenty in Europe - and they didn't swim the pond.

It's about a 12 hour flight depending on where coming from/to. But it would be stressful - FURSHURE - to an animal that 'hears' through its jaw and picks up vibrations.

There are NO ocellatus like THAT in this country. Damnit.

I don't want THAT morph!

[Garter_Gertie]

Are they protected, endangered, threatened in Texas? Are they something *you* could catch?
