I see. I dare say there is a demand for that. Not really my thing though, Tom. Good luck with the breeding anyway.

Well ,Keeping a normal garter is pointless to me.I can find 50 of them down the street!

I'm not 'having a go' Tom... I'm just not an albino fan... I love how red Flames are naturally. To each his own, etc.

I doubt there will be many available this year.If I get any i will probally hold them all back.I imagine Scott won't have more than a handful of them.He'll probally hold his back too!

I was'nt taking offence.I have enough flames now.I want to have one of every phase of eastern possible.If you don't like albinos,Then you will really hate my blizzards when they come out 2010 ish!

[adamanteus]

Sorry Tom, but yes, I will probably hate your Blizzards! I truly hope that Garters never go down the same path as Corns... where these weird artificial 'morphs' are all the rage and normal 'natural' Garters are disregarded.
Of course it's exciting to find the odd abherrent coloured example...... I just hate the whole 'Creamsicle-Strawberry-Vanilla-Fudge-Snow Cone' thing. Maybe it's just me, but I love Garters as nature intended.
Good luck with the breeding though, I wouldn't try to force my views on anyone else.

[ssssnakeluvr]

I love them both, normals and morphs..... hopefully they won't go hogwild like with the corns....just too darn many morphs......

[adamanteus]

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 wouldn't want to change that by making it all white or all black.
If Garters ever down the Corn Snake route (heaven forbid!) I will switch to another genus of choice.

normal ones have always fascinated me...I remember looking in snake books at all the species I could find....I like the morphs...but want to work with normals as much as or maybe a little more!! I want every garter snake species!!!!!
