    Ric's Garters

    Finally after browsing through all my dark, bleached, and blurry pictures, I managed to salvage these few:
    My first garter, the axanthic Arakis:


    Arakis' first date, the snow radix Shai-Hulud, she's much bigger than him now:



    Olive, het hypo (now turning pinkish) female radix:


    Tat, Iowa albino male turning oranger and oranger.



    Pickle & Olive, het hypo pair with redish parentage.



    Them squiggles: Brandy, double het High-Red/Nebraska albino female, here in the "blue"; with Tat & Olive in the background.

    Re: Ric's Garters

    I guess Arrakis has two r's.
    I've learned not to name garters until they grow some;
    green Olive looks now more like a red-brown kalamata olive,
    Tat used to be Bone, but not anymore.
    Arrakis was Patina, and then lost that blue-green color stripe.
    Pickle was Mocha, when he looked a very rich, dark brown.
    Now he looks very close to Olive.
    Go figure.

    Nice!

    Your Iowa, "Tat" looks a lot like my "Amy" looked when HE (yes, He) was much younger.

    Now, at two years old he looks... "wow"


    Very nice snakes you have there. Arakis is gorgeous!

    Arrakis & Shai-Hulud came from Jeff, the rest from Scott.

    Only the het hypo ones are related to each other.

    Arrakis is a tiny bit gravid, I can't wait to be surprised.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.
