Depending on which state you live in, it may not be legal for you to own/keep Garter snakes if they are native to that state. I strongly suggest that you check with your local Fish and Game department to see if there are any restrictions on keep different species of snakes.

Actually if you check the laws of Georgia, you'll find that it is illegal to keep any snakes that are native to the state. In fact they go so far as to classify all Lampropeltis triangulum together so it is actually illegal to possess Honduran Milk Snakes in Georgia.

You can check:
Morphmarket.com Kingsnake.com Those will get you started. And yes, check your local laws to make sure they're legal in your area. Many states don't allow species that are indigenous to that are to be kept as pets. |

As far as the albino checkered...are those adults? I bought my baby for $30 from them 5 years ago. I didn't think adults would be so much more expensive. As a side note, I don't advise buying from BHB for a myriad of reasons. In addition to what craigafrechette mentioned, there are colubrid and garter snake groups on FB. You can't sell in the groups, but you can certainly get in touch with breeders. |

I personally wouldn't buy from BHB either.
I think Brian has done some great things in the industry and snake bytes has brought our hobby to a much wider audience. However, he is the KING of click bait and I don't condone intentionally being tagged by the animals, and they do that all the time. It's just poor practice and is in no way good for the snakes |

Their animals are in overall good health, mainly just because they produce so many, but many people receive snakes infested with mites, he was pretty shady with the scaleless bps (which I believe all are dead now), several of his giants have died from untreated RIs, he tried to sell absolutely filthy rack systems on the side of the road, etc. etc. He feeds his garters canned tuna, like for people's consumption. Which isn't healthy. My guy came in with a rather large, hard blockage, but he was able to pass it without any obvious trouble after about a week or two and a meal. Quote:
