*Question* Which type of garter stands out the most color wise ?

[chris-uk]

It's not just the bright red and blue ones that are stunning. Our Cuitzeos are stunning snakes with pretty much an all black paint job, the checkereds have some subtle pretty colours, and western blacknecks take the checkereds style to another level.
Having said that, other than a third Blackneck, next year the top candidate to add to our expanding bunch of garters is an infernalis (yes, I know).

I've also heard that there's something called a "radix" which come in many different colours. I really must add one of those to our brood.

The black and white radix really are quite stunning. And yes, Chris, all of the snakes you named are beautiful as well. I will probably own an infernalis myself at some point. They are my favorite in terms of looks. And I can appreciate a snake with a temper. Next for me is the radix, then probably a red flame.

Infernalis are pretty advanced for me don't you think haha , hopefully someday I will have one in my collection.

I think you have to go out and pass some sort of garter mafia initiation before you are allowed to have one...lol...

Ah man sounds tough , I guess I have to reach a certain milestone before getting it :T. On the other hand hopefully we get some new morphs with amazing color this year that would really give us something to wow about.

If you click on the home tab when you come to the site...it will list all the new posts...often breeders like Jeff, Joe and Jason and Julio will post pics of new snakes they have...cool morphs and you will see listings for snakes for adoption. You can look under adoption too. I always go to the home tab first because it shows all of the newest posts under all of the different headings on the forum.

I know me to I like to check what people are up to. Are you expecting to get any new snakes ?

idk if anyone else has mentioned it, but kingsnake.com also has a section for garter/water snakes. I know Scott Felzer puts ads up there, as well as a couple other people that we sometimes see on the forum. You just have to be careful, as there are some people on that site who just grab a bunch of wild snakes and try to sell them cheap.

Oh, Harley and Houdini wanted me to tell you all about red and blue easterns (Harley is Red's littermate, but you can't ever have too many pics of flame babies, right?)

I am getting a radix in the spring from my friend Steve. Steve is the radix king. Radixes are wonderful, friendly snakes...beautiful too. You may want to talk to Steve...Guidofatherof5....if you are interested in a radix...I think he mentioned that he had a red-sided het or something to that effect too. Steve is good people. Great garter lover. You can learn a lot about garters from him. Just send him a message. I just got my baby albino checkered from Jason..Chondro788...I highly recommend him as well. If you click on his profile...there will be a link to his website and you can see what he has available or you can send him a private message.

I am trying to get a cagemate for Cee Cee but...okay..to make a long story not too long...I had Seeley..who was Selena because I thought he was a she. Then I found Cee Cee. I put them in together to be cagemates...I think garters do much better with company. Turns out Seeley is a male...now Cee Cee may be gravid (knocked-up)...I got Hermes...my albino, to be a cagemate for Seeley and I was going to get a female radix from Steve to room with Cee Cee. But now I think that Hermes might be a female..which means I will need a male from Steve and I will put Hermes in with Cee Cee. But if Cee Cee is preggers...I may have anywhere from 20-40 babies in a couple of months. So if you want an eastern....I may have one for you! The last time Cee Cee had babies though, they were all stillborn...she had 30 stillborns last August.
