breeding garter snakes?

Oregon red spotteds are pretty colourful, easterns can be, too. Pugets tend to be very bright yellow, red or blue. They're beautiful.

Looking through the Species Sheets would be a good way for you to see most of the garters.

Red spots, easterns like FL blues, and flames, and, like Chantel said, Pugent Sounds.

I've never been a fan of albinos either.

I think it's probably best to get experience and get familiar with caring for them before you go jumping into breeding. First get confident with keeping them vigorous, healthy, and happy because indeed, that's the only way they're going to breed. Some kind of seasonal influence is generally necessary too. That may include brumating during the winter.

Care of the offspring is another matter altogether and can be a challenge best left to someone who has experience and is completely familiar with caring for garter snakes in general.

In any case, you'll need a male Oregon Red Spotted, of slightly smaller size than your female, and you'll need them both to be nice and fattened up before the end of the year to make an attempt to breed in the spring.

Our Pugets are a really pretty neon greenish color on their bellies with a bright yellow stripe on jet black. They are fantastic!

Depending on the area, they are different colours. I would love a sky blue snakie.

And they can variable within same area. "Neon greenish" to nearly white or yellowish stripes are very common but those colors can be seen even in areas where very blue ones occur.

Pugets are T. sirtalis (pickeringi) But we were talking about breeding concinnus'. In my opinion, even though pugets and oregon red spotted are both T. sirtalis' and could produce offspring together, there is no good reason to do so. Keeping them pure, breeding same subspecies, would result in better looking offspring.
