Tinley show in Chicago

Alex Hue Reptiles. Alex is located here in Michigan and is a well known breeder. He seems mostly to carry balls, bloods, and geckos, though he has others. It's his forum.

Don't get me wrong, no one there has said anything against garters, it is the lack of replies or interest in even reading any posts about them that gave it away.

I don't know... $30 sounds awfully inexpensive for a black-neck, particularly as it seems the older snakes get the more expensive they become. At least for Hoggies.

So, Tori, amd I understanding your correctly? You're thinking he's asking $30 at his forum because people there don't like garters and look down on them? Like, if he offered it here he'd ask more since garters are more prized here?

That could be. But I don't think, if it were me, I'd do that. Offer my garter to people that prize them so little. For fear of it becomeing food for a "designer" snake.

Too funny!

To bad I actually see that all the time though. But it's true! I walk into a pet store. Whats your favorite snake Amanda? Well. Probably my puget sound and flame garters. WHA? Garters?? Get yourself a ball python! Uh sir. Everyone has ball pythons. The market is flooded with them. Why is that so "cool". Well... I don't know. Anyone can find a garter in their backyard.
Not these garters! And anyone can find a ball python on craigslist. lol

And I HAVE blood pythons and lots of other stuff like that. "Cooler" stuff then his normal common boas and balls. One other thing I have noticed is when you say you have garters, they assume you are poor or something and don't have anything else.

Or that you're 'stupid' and don't know snakes...

I get the "dont' have anything else" dealy-0. A dumb mo'fo at kingsnake.com went off on me and told me my Hoggies'd die because I was new Hoggy owner.

Why are people so mean and nasty? Why can't people be nice and encourage each other? Why can't people thrill when others come in and geek out with garters/whatever?

Humanity. Sucks.

They are just insecure. lol I just don't let it get to me... But yeah. It does suck.
