so do u guys think shes worth breeding

[Selkielass]

I think she's a very cool variation.

I think you probably have a very cool find on your hands. She is probably worth breeding...but breeding is a tough undertaking and you have to make sure that you find a mate that is the same subspecies in order to breed. You would have to make sure to have the snake sexed properly and the subspecies identified properly and then you would have to make sure to find a mate of the same subspecies. Then you would need to learn about breeding and how to care for gravid garters and babies.

Also find out if she is of breeding age.

How would i go about doing any of this

[katach]

If you can find a reptile vet they can confirm the sex of the snake. To find a mate you can post a wanted thread in the classified. You will want to brumate them in the winter so they will have a better chance of mating. To learn about brumation check out the caresheet (Garter Snake Forum - Garter Caresheet). If you have any questions at all about any of the process please ask.

This isnt rely important but can two different subspecies of the same species have viable ofspring

[katach]

It is highly discouraged. They would not be as pretty or wonderful as you might think. They also would not sell in the trade.
