Not, a python but still sorta cool

We have garter snakes all over the place here in ohio. i can go out back and pick up 5 in any amount of time. it is illegal to have them in ohio. when we could have them we would feed them earth worms, now that was fun to watch.

garter snake was my first snake when i was about 12. i fed mine a couple of small goldfish and that was the coolest thing i had ever seen. until i watched my python take a live mouse for the first time when i was a few years older :)

Not quite sure how uncommon this is, but I was at my friend's house down the street and I found a checkered garter. I have found them for good amounts on the internet, so I was thinking that they're rare. Am I mistaken?

Checkered garters usually cost about $30.. cheap. They are very common. The albinos are a little more.
