Breeding Garters

I bred garters years ago and I remember it wasn't very difficult.

Once my snakes are big enough and sexed i hope to breed from them.

How well do garters breed across species?

I have 4 checkered garters (unsure of sex by looking at tails)

I have a chance to breed a couple of red sided garters too a little larger but not adults yet.

would these cross breed?

Hello Dannyj,

First... welcome to this forum.

Personally I do not think they will crossbreed, but youŽll never know.
To be sure this doesnŽt happen, keep them apart.

Re: Breeding Garters

Hi Danny,

Another welcome to the forum, and like Fons said, it is extremely unlikely that if they do manage to mate, that they'll produce viable offspring. Have a look at this thread (garter/water snakes hybrid possiblities?) for a more thorough discussion.

Rick
