    Time of year to purchase garters

    It seems as though there isn't much going on right now to purchase garters and was wondering if you could suggest when I should start looking.

    I want captive bred, and something like an oregon red spot, a california striped, perhaps a florida blue or an albino specimen.

    Thoughts and comments are welcome.

    In late spring and summer are good times. They're also good times to look for babies outside.

    Most of the breeders that I have contacted don't exspect the have new born ready until early June. It will be that late for reputable breeders because they want to insure the new borns are feeding well before selling them.
