Wow great pics of those amazing garters, yeah, too bad... Also is it just me or do alot more flames die than other species in captivity?

[charles parenteau]

What we know about flame is the result of almost 15 years of captive breeding ... From the start this morph come from only a couple of WC male and WC female with the perfect genetic ...
This is the best example of captive breeding effect mabe is because of less genetic variation , diet ,basking light or whatever.

My friend ,the pionner of this morph have a 9 year old female over 3 feet long apple red...His last living specimen from his first breed specimen.

Need some advice about that oh yes!!

Alot of the pure Blais flames I got died.I can think of only one that made it to adult.All of the snakes that were crossed with normals or erythristics, melanistics etc. did much better.

Some morphs are just more fragile. I also heard a lot about the sirtalis snows. I know a breeder of them and he has snows every year. A lot of snows don't even get to their first birthday. For example 4 out of 6 died within a few months...
