breeding garters

[deadhead]

hey guys really wanting to expand my collection as I have breeding corns for quite some time now and am wondering what garter would be best! I really was interested in checkers but haven't found any morphs other than granite and albino so was leaning toward the plains garter or eastern garter any recommendations? Also what would be the outcome of a melanistic albino eastern?
Thanks in advance!

Easterns and Plains are your best bet, they have the most morphs available, are the easiest to obtain(besides checkereds) and are generally easy to care for. A melanistic x albino makes an amelanistic melanistic, but they are called Snows since the guy who ran the garter breeding show back when these first came around called them that.

But they don't look like snows and are not created by an Anery x Albino like a typical snow in other species, they are basically a brown looking melanistic, solid brown no pattern.

Thanks for the info it helped a lot! And now is there no anery eastern? And if that would be considered a snow then what would an anery x albino be? And also what is the difference between the strains of albinos in plains like the Christmas. Iowa, etc are they compatible? Sorry for all the questions and thanks again!

I really don't know much about Radix, radix masters are Guidofatherof5 and Tommy T. Radix. I'm sure they'll post eventually.

this is what the snow easterns look like lol20150110_155556-1.jpg

plains are a great garter to start with they are very easy to breed and care for all strains of radix are compatible and the 'christmas' is just an iowa albino bred to a red plains then the offspring were then bred back creating red albinos

Just throwing out there that there IS a third morph of checkereds: pastel! I think someone was working on crossing pastels with granites, but I never found out what happened with that.

no there is no anery eastern. Easterns are not normally red so an eastern in their natural form is anerythristic but we dont call normals anerythristic
