    Talking New Guy On The Forum...Hello From Detroit!

    Hello Everyone,

    I have been browsing this forum for the past couple weeks and finally decided to register today. I have kept morph and locality specific boa constrictors for a few years now and just sent a payment for a pair of Neon Blue California Red-Sided Garters. I have read they are feisty, but they look absolutely stunning! They will be my "eye candy" while my boas are...well, both beautiful and on the calm side. No boas have those bright blue colors though, so I wanted to mix it up a bit. I have come across some good care sheets and am purchasing a book specifically about garter and ribbon snakes to better prepare for my new additions this summer. At that point I will be up to 12 snakes...they sure are addicting!

    While I do not have any garter pictures to post yet, take a look at my boas here:

    Thanks
    - Phil

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Hello and welcome!
    I'm not far from Detroit- just a stones-throw from the above mentioned base. I have one Albino checkered, one self- caught Eastern, and four self caught and captive born Butlers garter snakes. (Our local ditch-snake.)

    Welcome. From a sub-zero Glasgow (I don't live here, but I believe it's sub-zero as well at home in Coventry).
