Baby Albino Garter Snake

£70.00

Description

This eye-catching Albino Garter Snake is a captive-bred 2025 animal with bright coloration and clean patterning typical of the morph. She is currently doing well, alert and active and is settling confidently. Garter snakes are inquisitive, diurnal snakes with plenty of personality, making them a rewarding species to keep and observe.

This young snake is thriving in a well-maintained enclosure that provides appropriate temperatures, access to fresh water, and ample cover to encourage natural behaviour. She would suit a keeper looking for an engaging, smaller species that is active during the day.
