Multiple species in one enclosure

Yeah, that's definitely it. Haha, when I see something out in the field I'm immediately like "oh, it's definitely this" but when I see something mislabeled like that it seriously starts to make me question my sanity!

I am only looking for a male as my male T.s. infernalis needs a cage mate and I do not want babies. Ideally I would love to find an anerytheristic plains garter but have only found one and the seller was asking way more than I was willing to pay. Right now I am leaning towards a T. marcianus, because that is all that I can find right now. By the way has anyone ever dealt with floridaherps.com?

i have male albinos availible but i think i remember you saying you hate red eyes or something
i have ones from a red plains pairing and ones from an orange albino x hybino pairing

Yeah I noticed that one of their pictures was not the correct species. Anyway I called several other vendors who advertised checkered garters and they either did not have them or could not promise me a male. After talking to a actual person at Florida herps I felt a bit better and let my impatience get the best of me. So we will see how that goes but I should have a male checkered garter delivered to my house tomorrow. If it doesn't go well I can't say you all did not warn me. Xuihcoatl is a few months out from getting a buddy.

Well everything seems all well and good so far. He arrived on time with a cooling pack, and the interior temp seemed temperate. He is a cute little guy and I love how green he is. I am excited about how inquisitive he seems, he did not go into hiding at all today. Here are some pictures of him on his bush, so far this seems to be his favorite place.

So is that darker green and orange dorsal well within normal checkered variation? Most look more like my Delilah from what I've seen.
