The T. e. obscurus I purchased almost a week ago (tomorrow he'll have been with me for 7 days!) arrived in wonderful condition, very alert and skittish, as gartersnakes tend to be. He's got the garter appetite and so far his quarantine is going smoothly and I suspect there's no issues at all, but you can never be too careful. Customer service was GREAT, and I'm relieved to find out that exotic-pets prioritises the well-being of their animals enough to check in to ensure the animal will be moving into an appropriate setup as soon as they arrive. The faunarium I purchased with him will be used after his quarantine, hopefully when he's big enough to not make me worry I'll lose him through a gap. Amazing price for what's offered in the setups, and I couldn't recommend purchasing one enough, especially if you'll be putting everything to use in the future. The best first impression from a site I've been on the fence about buying from, and now I can say I'm glad I finally did. Definitely looking forward to becoming a regular customer with exotic-pets.
