Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Ouch. I have a lot of garter snakes. Not many people left with them since the main breeder closed up. This is an interesting exchange. It looks like buy at your own risk.

Wow, you can see clear as day that she has an egg or something worse near her cloaca. I would be furious if I had bought a breeding adult female and she arrived looking like that.
The mites comment from him is unwarranted and seems like he is just mad for being called out. He should refund your money and pay out of his pocket to have the snake shipped back to him. Good luck and thanks for posting!

There are plenty of garters around. I have 189 garters at the moment. What garters do you have? I grabbed 2 pairs from scott when he left. He didnt have much that i didnt already have.

yes i got almost $250 back. I shouldn't of had to pay to send her back to him. I'm almost certain she's dead. Its funny how he claimed she was eating small mice but said she took a worm. For the time i had her she was very lethargic and had no interest in anything. She barely even moved. She had very weak muscle tone and her spine was showing. He was selling all of his retired breeders and i should have asked the age of her but didnt cause he knew i wanted to breed her since mine passed shortly before he posted her. There was no mention of her being paired and not producing until i said something about the slugs. Also I've never heard or experienced a garter absorbing unfertilized eggs.it shicked me when he said he didn't monitor that type of thing either they produced or they didn't.

Wow....how can anyone breed snakes and not monitor for impacted eggs? I breed only live-bearing vipers, but I do keep a close eye on any breeding females so I notice if they seem sick or impacted or weak in any way.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that, but at least you got most of your money back. If I ever get into garter snakes, I'll come to you- you have some stunning snakes!
