I don't think so. That is the head shape of a garter in my opinion.

If you read back, I will not likely be breeding it. Pretty unusual garter it is.

As someone who lives and catches snakes in Colorado this is not at all what most radix look like. Most radix you catch here look much darker like the typical radix you see in other areas. I have...

May I ask in what region of Colorado you saw similar animals? I talked with the state about this situation and there is no way for the offspring to be sold or shipped out of state unfortunately. It...

Albert, thank you. It is a wild caught animal. As I have seen many radix in Colorado and none of them looked anything like this, I agree there is a good possibility this guy is hypo melanistic. I...

To be honest I would be happy either way. Due to legalities of my state, I am not sure this could make it into the hobby even if it is genetic.

Tonight I went and picked up a radix from a fellow keeper that didn't have much interest in keeping Thamnophis. It is like nothing I have ever seen before. What is your opinion on what this thing...

Thanks Albert, my main concern would be spreading something to the rest of my collection.

I have a friend that has been keeping a wild caught garter for a bit, legally I might add, but he has no interest in garters so he is passing it onto me. I was wondering what is the best way to go...

Thanks guys, did I miss anything ground shaking?

It has been a bit since I have posted, a whole lot has happened. I will spare you the dirty details of my daily life, and let you know the trio of thamnophis are doing well. They currently in the...

Just a note it is just allelic not co-allelic.

It is unfortunate more of these morphs and people are not still around, would certainly make the hobby more interesting.

Thanks Jeff, it was a bit of a pain to get up and running but I am glad I put in the work.

I picked up an exoterra 40 gallon tank on the cheap several months ago and began building my garters' final abode. I started with a custom back ground and land/water separator using spray foam,...

Wow that is quite awesome, thank you so much. I would love to have it. It has been a rough week and it is nice to have something to smile about.

Haha no, he is not much a biter at all. I would be in trouble if I were a pinky mouse thought.

Well I am stuck on the Star Wars names and my wife insisted. Sometimes it is everyone's best interest to oblige.

I just realized I never shared the new pledge to the Thamternity. Here is the new little worm, Chewie. ...

So pink. It will be interesting to see how they mature. I think a little bragging is ok when it is deserved and respectful. In your case both are true.

It is simple economics, an animal is worth the most people would pay for it. If you are not turning over your animals quickly you either have not located your market or have priced too high. I...

I agree with you that the price some people want is ridiculous in my personal opinion. The problem is that there are not many breeders of garters so they get to set the market value, and as long as...

n update from the boys.

I know several reptile shops around me will take care of people's pets for a fee.

17 is what I meant. Please send to my house. Cool little snakes
