Group shot 2012 holdbacks

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

At a glance it looks like a dirty "snow" eastern! Weird little buggers those are! Colored like a worm.

great group! looking at that little pile of hungry mouths, makes me really glad that I no longer have that many. When I had like 150 thamnophis adults, plus babies..... OH MY GOD! My daughter would not know who I am because I would still be feeding snakes. always. forever. I've got 2.1 obscurus, 2.2 eques scotti, 1.2 mel sirtalis, 2.0 cyrtopsis ocellatus, and 0.1 Banana. (big loveable amel radix girl) I have female blacknecks coming for my males this season, ... and another obscurus female would be nice. We are going to hook Banana up with a red male.

I don't mean to hijac this thread... But I'd love to see some pictures of your snakes Shannon.

Look no further than flickr. Not much garter pics there though. "view profile, find latest started threads" works too. That yields a lot of her pics that are already posted here.

I will take a pic of the snow alone and post it for you as soon as i get a chance.

can we get a single shot of the albino looking one in the top right corner? So awesome!

[BLUESIRTALIS]

Thanks everyone! Shannon they do take a lot of time, but it will be worth it in the long run. My son is now six so he spends a lot of time in the snake room with me. I look forward to seeing some more of your pics as well!

The cool thing about all the normal looking babies in this group is that they have the potential to produce a new (anery/axanthic?) Eastern and a new snow strain if it proves out. Here is the pics of the parents. The father is an albino fl. blue eastern.

Weirdish question...Can you breed a Florida blue Eastern with another type of Eastern, like say a normal or a Chicago, since they are all T.s. sirtalis?

Edit: I guess my real question is, is the Florida blue more like a morph?

Florida blues are a locality.But its best to keeps the line pure as itd just dilute the blues.oh and Chicagos are a subspecies (T.s.semifasciatus)
