Wild caught morphs

[BLUESIRTALIS]

I was just realizing that BOTH of our Pugets don't have later stripes. Would that a morph?

I don't know how this works wether it be polymorphism or what but they are awesome looking snakes and i hope more people breed them in the future. I love how they favor atratus. Don't get me wrong i love the blue pugets but those single stripes are awesome.

No. My local sirtalis' (concinnus) are more or less likely to have lateral stripes depending on the location but some can have them, some don't, even in the same litter.

Did anybody see the w/c t+ albino wandering garter that was on fauna? The ad is gone but it was a great looking snake.

I've seen them before. There's pictures on Scotts website and elsewhere on the web. It's definitely not the first and won't be the last. And I do not believe a T- has ever been found. All albino wanderings have been T+ Personally, I like the look of the hypomelanistic ones over the fully albino ones.

I'm still wondering why nobody has combined the melanistic and albino into one double-recessive snake yet. I wonder what it would look like.

Probably pretty cool...

That's been done... California kingsnakes, melanistic x albino they're called "Blizzards". And with eastern garter snakes Scott Felzer crossed the mels and albinos and created the first "snow", the Snow garter seems to be a grayish maybe purple color, the Blizzard cali kings are pink.

Ummm...I was talking about wandering garters. Of course it's already been done with others. Nobody has done it with wandering garters even though there are melanistic and albinos and that's the point I was making.

I'm fully aware it has been done with eastern garters and non-garters.

I ended up buying it..it didn't cost nearly as much as speculated in the other thread about it. It is a gorgeous little snake in person and I'm proud to have it in my collection. It took a f/t pinky without any teasing or scenting on the first try. And "it" is a girl. I'll take some pics and start a new thread soon.

Sweet!
