New to garters, pointers needed...

Hi:

My name is Luis Rosales, I live in Mexico and I am interested in owning a Garter snake, however, I would like to get some info about them before I get one.

I am still getting my hands in all the info available, so I want to know if any of you know of any good links/books. I am already aware of the Melissa Kaplan herp website and the Garter Snake Home Page from Alan Francis.

Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards to all of you out there in the web.

Luis

LOL Kaplan...Ok just start searching the forum and you are much better off. I prefer not to read Kaplan's caresheets anymore as much of her information is not correct and as far as I am aware, many hobbyists shun her site totally. The search option on this forum can be a great tool. Punch in a few keywords and you can pretty much drag up any topic that has been talked about on the forums. Make sure you read up on Thiaminase found in most fish including the common feeder fish. Good luck. Andy
