Wow! What a beautiful t+ erythristic albino northwestern garter. That is a very rare animal! Do you have plans to breed it? I want some babies!!! Please!!!

[wintern101]

I will breed it someday I don't know anything about breeding but Selling babys will show my mom I am not crazy for keeping a baby snake I found one the ground. She was not pleased

You did good! That animal would have probably died in the wild! Thanks for keeping it and i wish you the best of luck producing more of these incredible animals for the hobby! If you ever decide to get rid of this animal please make sure a thamnophis breeder gets it so this morph can be bred and hopefully reproduced and preserved for the hobby. Thanks again! What a beauty!

The t+ albino is a simple recessive trait that can be produced by breeding het to het, het to albino, or albino to albino so your best bet is to collect some from the same area as you found this one and just maybe you can get lucky enough to find a het. Now the hets will look completely normal so you want know until they breed and produce babies. If some come out albino then that would mean the normal would be het, but if they all came out normal then you would have to raise all of them up to breed to one another or back to the parent to reproduce the albino.the cool thing about ordinoides (northwesterns) is that alot of their color phases are polymorphic meaning you can get red striped, erythrisic, normal looking babies, and some of the other color phases as well all in the same litter so once you start producing the albino you could get red striped albinos, normal albinos, albinos with red specks like you already have and you never know what else will pop up. Fingers crossed that you will find a het mate for this animal! Lol!
