best breed

[adamanteus]

Thamnophis radix. They represent everything that's good about Garters.

[Thamnophis]

At this moment it is T. hammondii.

This should be worth no question:
Red sided Garter snakes are the best of course.
Easy to handle,
all time snoopy,
can become big,
are allways beautyful,
there are comming some interessting morphs to breed
and last but not least they are red

[drache]

I've been giving this some thought and I'm becoming less and less sure

I have T.s.sirtalis, T.s.parietalis, T.s.concinnus, T.s.pallidulus, T.radix, T.marcianus, and T.e.vagrans

I like them all

in terms of ease, none of them have been difficult, except perhaps for my wild-caught concinnus a little

in terms of looks I really like the melanogaster, the hammondii, and the atratus

I love them all, but right now I'm really into the Maritimes (T.s.pallidulus)..I like how variable they are (like Easterns (T.s.sirtalis)...but I can't work with them because they're a native species)...I can have lots of different looking snakes but they're all the same subspecies...so I can mix and match...LOL. Also like that not a lot of people work with them, although that makes them hard to get.

that looks a lot like mine
it may just be the photo quality, but Chloe is prettier

I like easterns, I have one that will eat absolutley anything you put in front of it on tweezers, and it is also starting to get some color too it. I also really like my gulf coast ribbons, since they aren't kept as often as other Thamnophis species.

Yeh, I'm trying to work with the high greens and high reds. Haven't found any quite that nice blue/green yet though. That pic is one that got me really interested in Maritimes.

Parietalis for me.
Started with them...And I think they are still the most fun to watch! Most species are a bit shy...parietalis is always! out in the open...very curious as well! Great eaters and growers!
