Puget Sound Garters & polymorphism

Camera's just don't show the green glow to the stripes. It just looks plain yellow, but in person...

Speaking of polymorphism, yesterday I aquired a good size female erythristic T. ordinoides. She's gorgeous. So red all over that it drowns out the stripe, just like "Flicker" the male red one I posted in the past. And this girl is just a little bigger than him. The best part is, Tanya gave me a call and is giving Flicker to me! I'll have a pair of them, both totally red. Neeto!

Very cool

We're seeing a lot of variety in pickeringii as well here in Europe. Ofcourse, the well know blue animals, rarely the red animals and coming from blue pairings, the yellow phase animals.
Sadly, no one knows the true origins/locales....
Here's a few pics, including a very nice orange animal (from orange to blue breeding, all six turned out orange or yellow/orange)

Very nice.

They look to me like Olympia/Tumwater to Tacoma (South Puget Sound) area snakes. That's where I've been finding the "zipper" dorsal striped ones in yellow and blue/green/aqua, occasionally with small faint orange specks on the sides or bars of yellow or blue/green.

Will you be breeding them?

I'll answer that in another thread.
