One question
Hey,
I'm wondering if a Common Garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) and a Banded water snake (Nerodia fasciata) could be crossed together so that they could have babies? I would NEVER do anything that stupid, I'm just wondering  Thanks. |

Re: One question
Hi Anthon, and welcome to the forum.
I doubt very much that Thamnophis and Nerodia would ever interbreed. And as you so rightly say, it wouldn't be a very good idea anyway.

Re: One question
Okay, thanks
But I've heard that a garter snake and a corn snake has been interbred, so are you sure? I mean I think Thamnophis and Nerodia are closer relatives than garters and corns. I'm just wondering because I know couple of people who keeps a garter and a water together and I think it wouldn't be very nice if they.. you know. And sorry, I know my english isn't very good |

Re: One question
I seriously doubt that corns and garters have interbred. May I ask you who told you that?
edit: How's Härski doing, by the way?

Re: One question
I can't find that page anymore :/
But it was there just like "for example"-style, so maybe it hasn't even ever happened. So, they (Nerodia fasciata & Thamnophis sirtalis) wouldn't ever interbreed, right? great, and thank you And Härski is doing well |

Re: One question
Welcome to the forum
. There is always a chance, but it's probably a small one. I have not heard of hybrids between them. To be certain, you can put only snakes of 1 gender together and you certainly won't have a problem. |
