    Surprise!!!

    I would have never guessed you would say Normal, Stefan

    Hey no disrespect though, to each their own, and I actually understand where you are coming from, but I personally have to agree with Don, I like them all.

    As far as temperament I prefer to work with red-sideds

    Of course, I agree, as Joe pointed out easterns are were its at for variability and morphs for combo potiential

    Re: Whats everybodys favorite garter snake

    Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis is the "grand daddy" of all Thamnophis species, because of their large range they are one of the most naturally variable, they have commonly occuring natural color morphs such as melanistic, flame and red phase. Albinos have been found in Canada and the U.S. in such states as Massachusetts, New York, Kentucky, Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Illinois(many years back could have been semifaciatus) and each has been unique to their local. Freak morphs also appear occasionaly such as leucistic, piebald, paternless and scaleless, So from a collector/breeders point of view the eastern garter snake is an exciting snake to work with, every year gets better with these guys, if you would of told me 6 or 7 years ago that id be working with eastern garter snakes i would of laughed at you, but here i am and im here to stay! Amen
