Forgotten species?!

[Reptilia]

So, I fell in love with a blue garter and I forgot its name. Its not a phase of the san Fran, is it like a Florida something?
Still a newb remember! ^.^
also, totally and completely off topic. Does any one know of any rat snake breeders I could get in touch with?
Thanks!

Florida blue eastern (thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis) ?
Florida blue striped (thamniohis sirtalis similis) ?
Puget sound garter (thamnophis sirtalis pickeringii) ?

There's a florida blue phase of t.s.sirtalis and then there's the bluestripe t.s.similis. These two are found in Florida.

I like the t.s. pickeringii and the t.s. similis! it was the similis I had seen that I liked but now I'm not sure between the two,
Thanks for your help!

If you go looking to purchase some pickeringii, be sure to specify that you're looking for blue ones... they're not all blue. Some are blue, some are yellow, and some are both (green)

Thanks for that! I'll be sure to remember that for future reference!

Don't forget the red phase too

Allow me to go so far as to say most of them are not blue at all in the wild, but the blue phase is typically what you see in the pet trade. But just like pickeringii, (puget sound garter) concinnus' (oregon red spotted) have an uncommon blue phase as well: (which are also anerythristic, lacking the typical orange/red and yellows of a normal one)
