Bored out of my mind.Posting old pics

I'm the same, Don! If I want variety I would look to ordinoides, where variety is natural. There is serious study to be done there.... why so much variety in colour and pattern, even within a single litter? It doesn't happen in other Garters. To me that's far more interesting and challenging that creating yet another colourless snake.

In my view there is nothing more beautiful than a 'normal' radix (for example)... well defined checkered pattern, light green interstitial skin, orange dorsal stripe bordered with black.

I agree James, My first "love" (via picture) was a normal radix, and a normal eastern black neck and Puget.

My albinos came to me as non feeders, but have grown on me.

I will not deceive anyone, Snowflake is an Eastern, and She is going to be bred with Masubius my flame with the same goal in mind.

I can buy a lot of feed and bedding with the sale of offspring from those two.

The color variations offered by nature alone are captivating. Especially since I have only one species on my land, Sirtalis Sirtalis, the "common" eastern.

Just last summer alone, I found one with a cream stripe, one with orange stripes, one that is rusty with dark maroon spots, etc..

But it sure is fun to breed the aberrant colors and see what happens next.

My favourite lot, the "Gang" that are in my living room, the ones that get daily interaction, are all common, normal everyday specimens I found in the yard.

I love ordinoides!!!!!! such a huge variety of colors!!! I hope I can acquire some this year.
