    Re: best breed

    Since I'm new to garters, my opinion is based solely on how purty they are

    I like the melanogaster and san francisco

    I have yet to see a garter I don't like!!!
    But if I had to pick, then top of my list is a silver eastern, or a Puget.

    I like T. s. parietalis, for no other reason that I started with them and I like the way they look. As they're common garters, they also grow to a respectable size compared to other species.

    And T. e. vagrans, because they'd eat the tank if it just smelled like food. Actually, I've seen both of mine try to do just that. And they're really mellow. Well, at least the ones Ive got. They're just tons of fun.

    Then there are all those stunning morphs of all the other snakes, especially of T. ordinoides. And there was this one T. e. terrestris in a thread not that long ago, that was just incredible.

    I like the cyrtopsis cyrtopsis. They are a bit different in their behaviour as other garters, but where the first garters I started with.
