Thamnophis in zoos

[Stefan-A]

Seems that there is a male T. proximus in a zoo in this country.

"Blijdorp Zoo" in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) have tetrataenia. They were the first that brought them into Europe.

Oh, really? I always thought it was Jersey Zoo.

There aren't any at any of the Zoos I have been too........I wonder why that is? I know the Zoo in Utah has a lot of the native species but for some reason they decided to leave out the Garters. Maybe that is because you can find them anywhere? Beats me.....

I am fairly certain that the San Diego Zoo keeps tetraenia
and there are small local zoos that specialize in displaying native species, but I can't remember ever seeing them in a zoo

I took a trip to the San Diego Zoo last summer. To my surprise, they didn't have any tetraenia. ):

You're probably right. It's the commonality. People don't go to the zoo to see what's in their backyard. I've got a friend with contacts at the Henry Doorly Zoo to see if they do and if not whether they want to display them.
