okay, here is the question. of availible varieties of North american garters (eastern, plains and redsided etc) what would you choose to get of available varieties/morphs. why? Limitations are they must be available- nothing so rare that its a bear to get. The total should not exceede $1000. (lets face it if I can't afford it, the inputs useless)

Its become obvious to me that there are more color varieties and species available then I can afford, or really wish to have. The issue is almost all look individually interesting and pleasing.

Thanks.
