>>I am not a fan of purchasing snakes at a pet store. (In fact I dont think I purchased one from a pet store in almost 20 yrs.) And most pet stores in the tri state area have the same common species of snakes for sale all the time. Not to mention they are over priced. (Ex. $100 albino cornsnake). Last Saturday I went into a local pet store for some pinkies, and found 1.1 cb baby European Grass snakes (Natrix natrix). The store was calling them European Garter snakes. They were $35 each. I snatched them right up. What cool little snakes. Why are there not more around? I never even see them at reptile shows.

Becouse they are a protected animal.
