What could I breed with an albino granite checkered garter ?

[chris-uk]

An unrelated checkered garter of the opposite sex would be a good starting point. Other than that, what do you want to produce?

I didn't know that there were albino granites. Albino, yes. Granite, yes. But hadn't seen pictures of an albino granite.

I didn't know that there were albino granites. Albino, yes. Granite, yes. But hadn't seen pictures of an albino granite. They were first produced either last year or the year before and are still pretty rare in collections!

With checkered garters you don't have a whole lot of options at this point because there is only normal, granites, and albinos that are available right now! I have heard of other morphs in marcianus, but they seem to disappear after being produced! The good news is though that the granites are freaking awesome so I would do some outcrossing with some normal if I were you!

I love the pastels! i came across the albino granite checkered that im DYING to have... and the thought crossed my mind of what i may end up with if i crossed it with my albino checkered. just wanted to get everyones input on it. but yes im aware that checkereds are rather limited when it comes to breeding.

[BLUESIRTALIS]

If your albino is not het for granite and you breed the albino granite to yours you will get all albinos that would be 100% het granite! If yours is het granite then you would get granite albinos and regular albinos!

Just remember that by the Spring it's too late to quarantine any new snakes you bring in, and it's difficult for them to mate when one of them is quarantined. ;)

AAHHH yes very true! ty for the thought. i cant get any shipped to me now tho so that sucks. i probably wont even breed this year. i think i should learn more. ive already learned so much here already thanx to everyone.

My first thought is you'll do nothing. Your snake is way too young/small for breeding anytime soon. Do you know what sex your snake is? I ask because it's always a good idea to buy your female first and a male for her a year or two later. That way she'll be bigger than him when they are old enough. It doesn't work out so well when the male is bigger.

spring, fall, summer... doesn't matter. for the most part you just put two checkereds together and they breed whenever they feel like it. That's just how they are.

[slipknot711]

Yeah its a girl. i know how to sex them :p (most of the time lol) shes almost 2ft at the moment so you are right prolly too small to breed right now. but ty for the information. :D
