    red, redder, . . .

    oh well - reddest is probably not something I can afford
    but
    I'd really like to get a red garter this year
    so
    which is redder - an erythristic or a flame?
    and are there other considerations?

    Re: red, redder, . . .

    I'd have to say that the flames are probably the redder of the two. You really don't see a lot of super red erythristics, like you do flames. And if you can get Blais line flames, they're almost freakishly red.....like they look fake. Oh and if you do find any Blais flames....LET ME KNOW!!!!!!! As far as others, well there are these hypo red T.radix if you want to drop some serious cash (LOL), and there's always the T.e.terrestris, if you can find any. I've also seen some really nice brick red T.ordinoides for sale at a show once. But over all if you want RED , flames are probably the way to go.

    I like eastern Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis. The red skin between the scales contrasts well with the autumn orange/brown. Best red you'll ever get, IMO.
