Re: Hey from the midwest!
Welcome to the best garter snake forum on the planet! I don't do anacondas, but I used to do venomous - I used to have a copperhead. I don't have space for an anaconda. I got 1 baby burm who is beautiful but real aggressive. What types of venomous do you do?

Re: Hey from the midwest!
Nice to have you with us. Garters are an awesome snake. Here's a link to the care sheet which is always a good read.
What part of the Midwest are you in? I'm in Council Bluffs Iowa.

Just please don't try to get 'color morphs' from breeding different species together! Checkereds to Checkereds and Red-sided to red-sided. No Mutts!
Just had to clarify that... they are not like breeding Corns n Kings together to get 'super corns' you'd end up with a couple ugly mutt snakes that have no positives.3.2 T.Marcianus, 1.2 T.Sirtalis, 1.0 Zacapu, 1.0 T.Radix
0.1 Banana Cali King Snake
0.1 BoxerXRottie Mutt

Re: Hey from the midwest!
This is true. Nothing good ever comes from crossing thamnophis species. It's just muddies them up and the offspring usually end up looking ugly. It's not like crossing kings/milks/corns.
If you end up with a sibling pair of albino checkereds, keep in mind they are usually already heavily inbred so I wouldn't recommend breeding checkered siblings.
