Re: breeding question?
You can breed any subspecies of garter together that's in the same genus. For example you could breed an Eastern Garter (Thamnophis Sirtalis sirtalis) with a Red Sided Garter (Thamnophis Sirtalis parietalis). The reason why most people don't do this is because you get a hybrid of the two, unlike when you breed morphs together and can separate them again into normals and whatever the morph is.

Just wanted to clear it up a bit. All garters belong to the same genus; Thamnophis.

Scientific classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: breeding question?
Really Chris, I think it better to breed animals within the same species/sub-species. Why mix them up?
