    Re: Another pet store...

    Well, Hermes barely has any yellow at all. He is quite stunning. Now this pet store...the reason I came upon it is because they are selling albino checkereds. Their albino checkereds are quite yellow. If anyone wants to check out the store, PM me and I will give you a link...I'm not going to say the store's name or post a link to the store in a thread on the forum. But here is Hermes: (Please ignore the writing on the outside of his tank..I'm working on getting that off )

    I was just looking at your thread, Greg. I guess I should be glad that the store at least knows what an albino checkered garter is...and that they aren't advertising it as a gecko!

    I noticed you posted to correct an incorrectly identified infernalis on RFUK at the weekend. That ad got me excited, I thought that someone was actually selling an infernalis half an hour's drive from me. Shame it was a parietalis. Grrrrr

    It's simply frustrating .... it would be funny if it wasn't so disappointing ... the fact that Britain is so trend oriented doesn't help either.

    The RFUK Classifieds are heartbreaking for a garter lover. Pages and pages and pages of royal pythons and boas, even corns aren't so common. Then the odd ad for garters pops up... and it's either someone with an overpriced checkered which isn't selling because the price is just too high (although if it was closer I'd maybe consider it now he's dropped the price from £60 to £35, if he took £25 ), or a parietalis being sold as an infernalis. I think there's even more Baron's Racers than garters in the classifieds at the moment...

    Fleshware error? I don't think you can actually just link to your an email in your Livemail account... try copying and pasting the text again? Would be interested to see the response if you're impressed and satisfied by it.
