    Re: I'm getting checkereds, FINALLY!

    Checkered garters are awesome looking. Normals, as well as albinos. I'd say the albino checkered garter is by far the most common garter I've seen advertised online and/or at local herp shows.
    Looking forward to seeing some pics when you receive them Shannon.

    Thank you, Wayne!

    that is exactly why I have decided to not keep albino checkered's.

    Albino Checkered garters are "mass produced" like lab mice, inbred to the point of snakes that are quite unhealthy.

    There's a reason they are cheap, and too common.

    Normal Checkereds are just so much more attractive than albinos, anyway!

    I do like some albinos, but the normal Checkereds are just outstanding! In fact, albino Checkereds are the only albinos I really, really don't like looking at!

    Aww, but I like my albino checkereds. They're from separate bloodlines so when I breed them next year we can expect the best.
    Normal checkereds are some of my faves too though. I like the green and black. ^^
