"This genus(Thamnophis) has long stood in the minds of herpetologists as a synonyn for chaos" Ruthven,1908
"A number of studies have attempted to reduce the taxonomic confusion by documenting variability within many of the species and producing taxonomies that reflect evolutionary history" Rossman,1996

"chaos" good way to describe it. Hopefully more DNA studies will come in future years to clear up some of that chaos.

[BUSHSNAKE]

what its saying is that people dont understand their varibility so its caused a lot of confusion, which is obvious!

[The Snake Whisperer]

Those are beautiful, what Thamnophis variety are they and what colors were their parents? If you get babies for sale, I hope you will let me know.

Awesome snakes Jeff, i gotta find one of those blue chicago garters!

[Jeff B]

You mean green chicago? mine is definately green not blue. Well actually you can go find a blue one and then we will breed my green one to your blue one and make a green one with blue spots and a white dorsal stripe, now that would be a cool looking snake, aeeeh?

[Jeff B]

Yeah but you should know they are even uglier and more purple in person.

Love the silver-purple one!
