Hi, I see a lot of controversy over the existence of piebald garter snakes. So I'm here to unveil the up and coming pearl plains garters. That do exist, can be reproduced, and will be available soon

Its more of a Lucy than a pied, but honestly it could be considered in either category. But its nicer than the Lucie's that do exist and are reproduced, and its nicer than any of the one time pieds that have popped up that weren't reproduceable.

Im having trouble color to pop like it does in person through pic but their faces are, red/pink/lavender purply pearly, bellies are pearl colored and sheaned. On a white background with clear distinct edges between the brown patterning and the white, no fading. Soon I'll have a new screen for my old phone or better lighting and I'll post some of my older pics and some new pics under better lighting but for now!...

Yep! He will have them available well before me! Lol
Im probably not really expecting any until next year, I'm just hyped about how fast the male is growing. Only 4 1/2 months old already about 12" long

Amazing, but they look similar to the snow plains with aberrant coloration. Very interesting.

Thanks guys!

And Albert, yeah when I first saw a snow plains I thought it was a Lucy! Lol so patternless! Julio's big female has more pattern than this one. I think two of the pics I posted are actually his but one doesn't come up very good on my device.

Wow! I can definitely see the difference in Julio's animal with more of a leucistic coloration and the smaller ones appearing more blizzard than snow. Very nice.

Yeah! They turn a nice crisp white when their skin loses its see-through-ness. My phone and flash also trash that color and only captures the pinks and browns. Here's an update! Lol and a comparison between flash and no flash!

Over the last 10 days this male has grown from 12 to 13" and went from 8.7 to 10 grams even! So 15% increase in weight! I feel like he could be a lot bigger if I had gotten him on pinks in his first 3 months, but he's only been on the pinkies for 2 months now

Update! Here's some new pics in sunlight to show how white he's getting! He's growing fast, a lil over 6 months old now,

Also I put a smaller female in with him, cuz they we're close in size and take the same size prey! He jumped her immediately, she's the female who dropped the unfertile eggs a couple/few weeks that I posted about. Hopefully something comes of it. 14952149531495414955
