Thamnophis sirtalis pickeringi... These guys put Florida Blues (T. s. similis) to shame.

This one is pretty tame as well, at least for a garter. She's not too squirmy and doesn't try to bite, though she does occasionally musk. She also takes frozen/thawed rodents no problem.

OOO Nice

Don't know my snakes, but those colors are pretty cool!

^_^

Yeah, they're one of only about two types of gartersnakes I would actually pay money for (the other being Marin County locale California Red-Sideds, if I wasn't able to catch them in my backyard).

The other one is really beautiful as well, very nice pattern!

I've yet to see an australian snake, I suppose I can consider myself lucky in that case!

Adams had some near misses with them though.

whaaaa?! get looking, fool!!!
i do like the blues nat, but the bloody musking is too off putting.

Adam insists that I have seen one.

All I saw were the leaves moving really fast! couldnt see the snake

What type of snake was it supposed to be? You should try and find a Bandy-Bandy.

Mez, the musking isn't bad at all. She did it once when I was bringing her out for the photo shoot, but I just held her tail so she couldn't rub it all over herself. She doesn't do it when I'm just transferring her to her feeding container and whatnot, which is pretty good for these "for watching only" types of snakes.

Do you have Puget Sounds in the UK? I know there are some people in the Netherlands who really like North American garters, but I've never really heard of them being popular in the UK.
