what about mixing?

[Snake lover 3-25]

could you mix two different kinds of snakes? what would it look like if you mixed these snakes?(below)

^ this with v this

Making hybrids or intergrades is not something I would recommend. But you could.

I wonder if it would be purple... LOL

[Zephyr]

Yes, it would be, but I don't recommend it with Thamnophis. The creamsicle corn snake is an example of inter-subspecies hybridization. The snake is quite attractive, but it is kept strictly in the hobby and is carefully preserved in bloodlines in the corn and rat snake branch of the hobby. With garters, creating intergrades would have to be done under careful observation, and if the offspring display any health defects at all or are not desirable in coloration then they should not allowed breed. All in all, if some one with a very controlled environment created an intergrade, Thamnophis hobbyists everywhere would have to be alerted, in the strain would have to be specifically monitored and cared for, so that no further integrations in the gene pool could happen.

It has crossed my mind a few times, but I'd prefer to breed for coloration within a subspecies. :P

okay... just wondering

Chances are it wouldn't be.... we're not mixing paint.
Chances are it would just be a sh*tty looking brown sirtalis.

im not sure about thamnophis but my two hybrids are beatiful but i agree better to just buy a nice looking snake then try to make one, in my idea hybrids are fine as long as u label them as hybrids

Well, most hybrids I've seen look like **** anyway. Especially if you start going outside the species. Jungle corns are a prime example, IMHO.
