fun at feeding time

ive had many mixed reactions with some people
but once again like at the pet store you say its a garter snake and they just stop listening

But most people, when you say "gartersnake" think only of whichever ones happen to be found out in their yards.

Exactly. And it seems that that's exactly where most garters kept and sold come from. Wildcaught with minimal effort and when I've read here about stores selling them for a few dollars a piece, it's pretty damn obvious to me that they're not going to be appreciated.

The morphs and non-native subspecies are very hard to find, especially here in Canada. But most people, when you say "gartersnake" think only of whichever ones happen to be found out in their yards.
I've actually asked at the local pet shop why they don't carry non-native species of garter, and was greeted with a surprised, "Oh, there are different kinds??"

Very hard to find here. The odd one in reptile specific classifieds but I only know of one person who regularly breeds various garters. Maybe people just don't talk about it.

P.S. "MODP" just curious if anyone knows this person?

Last night I took some pictures at feeding time, so.. Rather than start a whole new thread, I figured I'd post here (saves clutter)
