About Gartersnake.info
The Editor
Jonathan Crowe is a writer, web designer and snake breeder. He grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he began keeping Red-sided Garter Snakes at the age of 8. Here’s a picture of him from that period, mucking around at the snake dens near Narcisse, Manitoba.
A historian by training, Jonathan nevertheless got back into snake keeping with a vengeance in 1999, and picked up where he left off as a child with his first love: garter snakes.
He currently lives in Shawville, Quebec, with his partner, Jennifer Seely. Their menagerie includes two cats, a box turtle, and a whole mess of snakes, including Butler’s, Wandering, Checkered, Plains and Common Garter Snakes.
He is also the author of The Map Room, a blog about maps, and DFL, a blog about last-place finishes at the 2004 Olympics.
