fashionably late, but ...

Snaky · 10-16-2007, 03:21 PM

here are some pics of my latest additions

The first one is a female elegans terrestris that Gijs & Sabine picked out for me... it already has a nice coloration, so this will become a beauty, I'm sure of it

.

And she is a VERY good eater... she is currently housed together with another garter, and she ate the complete meal I gave them. This is the proof

Then we have this nice couple atratus atratus. The female has an orange line and the male a yellow line. I love them, they are always visible and never retreat in their hides

I already had some marcianus, but now I can have 2 different bloodlines

The first is a normal wildcolored male.

And this is unfortunately the only pic of the heterozygote albino female.

Next is my couple hammondii, unfortunately brother and sister, but maybe I can change that next year and have some other bloodlines... we'll have to see

Those are really the most secretive garter I've had till now. I enjoy every second they pop out.

They also eat like a pig, as you can see.

And after walking to Gijs & Sabine's table at snake day, I couldn't resist this little fella. He also has some great color on him. So another male elegans terrestris.

I have 2 other terrestris, but don't have pictures of them at the moment, sorry

You can't see the difference, it's only geneticly. It has the albino gene, but that is surpressed by the normal colored gene. I also have a male albino and breeding him to the female heterozygote will give me albino and heterozygote newborns.

Maybe reading this can clarify things:
