T. radix is another garter that has made it to far reaches of the globe. Popular in E/SE asia even.

apparently there has been reports of flames being found up north

I just tried a quick search on google with no result, but I know I've read something about this within the last 2 years

Flames (true flames) are descended from similar (t. s. sirtalis) snakes found in Canada. However, they have been selectively bred over many generations to become what we see in the market today. There are still wild "flames" but they aren't truly flames unless they're captive bred. They're just wild snakes that are of the same morph or similar to, the snakes that flames descend from.

And you are correct. Recently in a rather remote area somewhere in Canada, some very red sirtalis' have been found. There is a thread here somewhere about it.

I posted the article a while back. The snakes were discovered by hydro workers in Beren's River, MB. I cant imagine that they would be parietalis but they are far removed from the range of sirtalis.

Of course you will. A lot of people will, for all the good it will do, but don't even get me started on that.

Then why comment in the first place. Don't go there in this thread.
