Albino Checkered Garter Snake.

I have been wanting to take pics of my albino garters for months, I finally caught one of the females when she was eating her ratties. :) http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...g?t=1166762519

NICE! Such pretty girls ED!!!! :sunny:

Nice. Checkered garters are such pretty snakes. Having been musked though, I have no desire to keep one :P

The good reptile store we go to regularly has these in stock - they are so freaking hot!! I love their wild "Easter" colors...=)

The hottest thing about them is when they drop a large litter of little white worms, They will start feeding on rodents right away. all my adults eat rats. :)

If you never thought about a garter snake, Take another look. :) http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...g?t=1166997694

She's cute! In the last pic it looks like she's going "Mmm mmm good!"

Lunch is over! :) http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...g?t=1169181091

My man had garters when he was younger (for like 10 years) and is thinking about getting another one.

I'll have to look into the differnet types as I've never had one.

Cool pics Ed ... I had never seen an albino garter snake before.

That is a really nice snake. I used to think that Garters were boring but from reading on the net I have noticed some really nice patterns and some morphs that look really nice. I just wish it was not illegal to keep them here since they are a native species. :(

Nice Garter!

I remember my first snake I ever had was a garter snake I caught in my back yard. I kept him for a year and then let him go the next summer. Surprisingly he never bit me even though he was from the wild.

Where do you get these things....crazy lookin, i love em!

Garters are in no way boring, and some real neat ones are now available. :eek:

She is awesome!! Don't the albinos come from the plains of Iowa and Nebraska? We have some nice garters that look a lot like the albinos in everything but the colors.

what does one of those run ed. just a ball park est.

Do you have any pictures of your adults?

Matt, not trying to sell anything on this thread and dont have any available right now. (Babies $35.00) :)

Those garters are sweet! How are they for handling? Also you can set them up in a naturalistic vivarium, right?

i used to catch wild cought garters when i was like 6-7 years old they are awesome. never been bit by one.

Babies dont like alot of handling, but adults are calm if handled now and then. best thing about them is they will eat a wide range of foods. :)


Drop large litters of live babies! :eek:

lol I did the same. Most garters in the wild will live off of mostly inverts but rodents make a more complete diet than insects. Its recomended that you get them on rodents as soon as you can.:carrot:

Good advice jake the snake. :P

They will even eat chopped up pinkies when real tiny.

lol I bet thats a mess. I know of someone that started them on pygmy mice which are a lot smaller than domestic mice and even tiny garters can usually take them with no problems
