Interesting colors......

you can email me the pics at ssssnakeluvr@comcast.net

also, a lot of snakes turn blue after dieing.... found western yellow bellied racers (nice green color) that were roadkilled and turned blue.
you can go to my gallery on here, should be some florida blue shots in there, or photobucket and look for ssssnakeluvr and check out the earlier shots in the album, got some florida blue pics in there

I've seen many snakes DOR with a bluish hue, kin to shedding blue sure. But I encountered this snake in June like I said when it escaped me. Could be just a pocket of genentics here, or I had never really hunted West of the Orlando area my entire life. Although, some of the Garters I encountered at Ernie Caldwell looked like plain ole Eastern Garters.

Thanks for the responses guys, glad I looked into this and I hope to find enough specimans for you who would like to start a program.

I'm guilty of never reading the rules so I'll ask here if it is O.K. to post the link to the site of the Ernie Caldwell Diaries, 25 or so pages of the year and a half I spent out there.

I would love to expand my florida blue breeding group. I used to have a sweet female and outrageous blue male (from the same litter!) and was hoping to reproduce the awesome blue, but unfortunately the male died for no apparent reason. The pic doesn't quite do him justice.

Hey good people. Haven't forgotten you. The bonding company took over the job as the contractor wasn't paying the subs. Couldn't get ot the site. Good news. Kick-off meeting was Tuesday to resume and finish. I should be back out there soon.

Awesome!

Yea great get back out there and do some collecting.

If you do collect a few of that garter 23 IV.jpg (3 of 4) pic I would be willing to start a breeding program. That to me is an interesting look.

I would need at leasts 4-5. Age and sex of CW are two big factors.

Just don't send anything at this time of the year, lets wait untill May-Sept. To cold now.

Good news/bad news......

No garters at Ernie Caldwell in sometime. On a different site also virgin cow land I came upon this looker. Only problem...my wife is keeping it. Fell in love with him. Just ate two fish yesterday.....

Aslo if interested, I can post some Ribbons as well. Some beauts in the Polk County area.
