in that case I must say that there probably isn't a huge market for 250 buck garters
I mean - you're into them and you're balking, right?

the market is bigger than you think...he sells out every year!! the reason it costs more is they are more rare than the flame easterns, which are common. these crosses will carry the red genes and the albino genes. the babies could all be normal looking and just carrying the genes for red, albino, and the red hybino. Like my xmas x nebraska cross. the babies are normal, but when they get to breeding size and i can breed them, they will produce a variety, nebraska albinos, ohio albinos, xmas albinos, and hopefully xmas nebraska albinos.
I have pics of red plains garters, they aren't common. the one in The Garter Snakes: Evolution and Ecology, (the big book by Rossman), is a deep red, looks like a red siders almost. would love to have one like that!!!
