Exactly Kat....exactly the reason I have never taken them to any of the vets that say they will see reptiles...I figured I would actually talk to some of the vets that I know where I take my other animals and find out how much they actually know about garters first.

Not many vets do. I am lucky to have one that does so close.

You have me wondering... How do I say this?? your hand has a reddish tint to it in the red stripe picture, the overall hue of the photographs looks "red enhanced" have you doctored those photos?

No worries on asking. I understand. It's hard to believe how red she is. Chantel can attest to how red she is though. I brought Blade with when we went to pick-up Snakey.

Just don't discredit a vet right away, a few years ago my Puget was sick, The vet had never seen one, she even called in a few vet techs to see the pretty blue garter.

She set me up with antibiotics, Metacam (Animal pain killer) and Silvadine, the regimen worked, and the snakes cystic boils healed and he was once again healthy.

Just because a vet may not have Thamnophis experience, they know more about animals than anyone else.

Good point Wayne....surely if one of my snakes were ill I would take her to a vet and see what the vet had to say...I do want to talk to the vets at the animal hospital where I take my pets though, just to see if they do have any experience with garters.

Thanks so much Steve, I remember Richard showing that, But I couldn't find it.

Sadly the "purchase" link on the site is broken. I would love one of those in my snake room.
