Regulations on garters?

[nekura]

Ok thanks guys. And yeah they're both really tiny and that size. I'll get some tail pictures once they've turned less squirmy and have gotten a little more used to handling.

Releasing any babies back into the yard would be ideal since the garters eat the food the poisonous snakes want and keep them out, but I know how fickle the regulations and all that are. And I'd sell babies for more than 1$ but then they'd accuse me of going for profit or some such. Blarg. But yeah I'll email them the questions. I know for sure I'm allowed to keep them as pets, there's just no info on the selling and such.

there's just no info on the selling and such.

There is, it's just buried and/or not posted on the website.

we do btw have Reptile Regulations by State - Caresheets in the articles section of this site
please help us by keeping the ones pertaining to your state updated if you can
looking at what departments they're under in other states can help you find them in your own
be aware that sometimes there are not only state laws, but also local restrictions

It appears that Louisiana isn't even on the Reptile Regulations by State - Caresheets. I sent an email to Licenses and Permits | Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and I'll let you know what they say on the issue.

I live in the middle of a field in the middle of nowhere. I don't think we have local restrictions to worry about in our mud paddy.

where I live here in Michigan we are only aloud to keep 6 garters at a time.

Okay, tail pictures. Feel free to move these to the sexing pics area after we've decided what they are.

Snake 1 was very squirmy and bad for pictures:





Snake 2 was a lot better:



My Stepdad guessed that they were both female from the sexing page, but we have no idea.

They do look like females...

[nekura]

Great. Now maybe I can actually name them besides Snakey 1 and Snakey 2.

I'd say female on both those beauties.

[RedSidedSPR]

Females I think.
