No way, those tiger Salamanders are so cool!  I raised a few in college when I worked at a Pet Store.

I caught one Garter here last year and it's stripes were pretty yellow as well plus it had some bright red "check" marks in the pattern that were a real knock out.  My German Shorthair likes to "point" snakes so we find any around the house fairly quickly  ;D

Too many dangerous snakes around here to let my GSP "point" the snakes, we'll be snake breaking her as soon as she's mentally able to handle it.

Some of the garters are nasty ugly, many are downright gorgeous though, prettiest one I've seen was one in Idaho while I was fighting fires up there.  I like Tiger salamanders too...too much to feed to my snakes :D

On the "cool" note....yeah it was in the mid to high 80's today...warming up quick here...but that means good things to come ;D

Lee, those eastern hognoses are even cooler than our western hogs...lucky guy I tell ya ;)

I have come to believe that we all live in great places. It's the 'grass in always greener' syndrome that get people down. I would love to have access to 'road kill' bow skins. But I have come to love living where I am at.
You do have some nice looking snakes Nathen.

Garter snakes are way cool but they can be dangerous.


Was cutting the grass at my Mom's back when she was still alive. Bunch of flowers and fruit trees grape vines and I do hate a weedeater, Rammed the Snapper under a small pear tree all leaned over, holding up limbs... and a Garter fell down my shirt.

Hey, I planted her another tree.

NTD   -awesome that you have a snake pointer  :D
 We trained our yellow lab in college to sniff out reptile room escapes and to a lesser degree outside herps (no hots in that area). My current dog likes to find box turtles, but I didn't teach her to.  Hopefully she wont try and make friends with a copperhead.

Best thing about garters is you can often get them to eat a nightcrawler right after capture.

Postman,

No no my pointer won't be pointing any snakes.  That was Lee who has one that does that.  As soon as My pup is old enough we will be breaking her on snakes.  She is not allowed in the herp room because I don't want her ever comfortable around the smell or presence of snakes.
