    Re: Orange Phase Eastern Garter. Is it a dominant gene?

    If your adult female have orange on her probably this snake was born normal and over the years the orange appear you need to keep her babies for few shed to see which one have orange on it sometime orange appear over the seconds years ....the one you should keep are the one that have orange at there second shed those will be very nice as adult.....If you breed 2 orange eastern together as i did few years ago you will have high orange flash babies and this is so nice ....

    I caught 2 female last week with a little bit of orange to see what there babies will look like one female had her babies yesterday and at first sight all normal i will keep the babies and mom for few week before releasing and over this period i will have a better idea of what the babies will look like....If you had found and orange garter at one site you should expect red garter snake too you need to spend a lot of time herping in different location to find red one!!=)

    yeah this place I found the orange at was ridiculous, I have never seen so many garters in my life, but time is ticking now as a lot of females are giving birth now well that's good news then that it is in fact possible for babies after their second shed to be orange already. Does that include the first shed when they are born right away? I keep herping as much as I can but I'm also waiting to see what comes of your WC flame that is gravid
