i was looking through the buy/sell/trade forum and was wondering if someone could give me a breakdown of what everything means.

this is a quote from a post in that forum
Plains:

5.0 Axanthic (2 dark, 3 light phased) $45 each
2.0 High red from the same litter as axanthics $50 at birth/$95 showing red
1.4 Xmas albino x high red hypo (double het-should produce outstanding high red hypo xmas plains) $150 females only or the lot for $595 (First year available)
2.14 66% Poss het hybino/ probable red hypo/hypo $50 (Females only or the lot for $250)
1.2 Iowa snow $75 (from 2 litters)
1.3 Anerythristic plains $45 (from 2 litters)
0.2 Hybino/Iowa snow plains-$75 (priced as albinos-if either starts to show hybino trait $195

the first number im thinking is adults then juves
and then the other thing i wanted to know about are the words like Axanthic, hypo, double het, het hybino

or maybe there is a link to a site that can explain a lot of what this means im guessing its just different classifacations for colors or markins.

sorry if i put this in the wrong place i was very unsure where to put it

When you see a set of 3 numbers 3.2.5 that means 3 males, 2 females, 5 unknowns-unsexed

Males first, females second and unknown/unsexed snakes last.

Here's a couple links that might help on the terminology:

Scott Felzer's Garter Snakes, specializing in aberrant garters (http://www.albinogartersnake.com/genetics.html)

Garter Snake Morph (http://gartersnakemorph.com/Snake-Genetics.php)
