I agree, it looks like it has interesting patterning. Would love to see some more pics of it.

Nice little checkered scrub you got there. I love the hardcore checkering! Please, keep us updated!

If I'm not mistaken the hypo variety tend to have this look.

It does not look to be a pastel to me. It is missing the key features... weird labials, screwy head pattern and a screwy neck pattern... I have owned and seen plenty of really nice examples of normal marcianus and this is definitely a nice one!

Thanks for the clarification Shannon.
It was the "pastel" not "hypo" I was thinking of.

Thanks!
I saw an add giving it away for free, wanted someone who knew about garters.
It was from a local butterfly palace, they have small reptiles and amphibians, but said that it was given to them in a job lot, they kept it for a few months, but really it was too small for show or a little too fast for kids interaction sessions, I was lucky to see the add, but very chuffed.
