    Re: breeding question?

    You can breed any subspecies of garter together that's in the same genus. For example you could breed an Eastern Garter (Thamnophis Sirtalis sirtalis) with a Red Sided Garter (Thamnophis Sirtalis parietalis). The reason why most people don't do this is because you get a hybrid of the two, unlike when you breed morphs together and can separate them again into normals and whatever the morph is.

    1.0 T. sirtalis

    Just wanted to clear it up a bit. All garters belong to the same genus; Thamnophis.

    Really Chris, I think it better to breed animals within the same species/sub-species. Why mix them up?
