Re: begining breeder
They're all painted keelbacks. It's the same as with garter snakes, the original garter snake is T. sirtalis. That's what the word sirtalis means; "Like a garter". Thamnophis, by the way, is derived from the words for "bush" and "snake".
Simply calling them keelbacks isn't recommended either, because that refers to the genus Rhabdophis.
