*Question* Which type of garter stands out the most color wise ?

[tress29]

hundreds of coast garters. They were all very high red.

I hope my coast gets nice color like that! His body color has lightened to a brown. Anyone know how long a color change like that could take? (And obviously, he may never get that red.)

You know me John...I will always be a poster girl for the easterns! I happen to think my regular old T. sirtalis sirtalis are gorgeous. Especially after a shed. Cee Cee just shed last night (see my Cee Cee and Seeley journal thread for details and pics) and she is so beautiful right after a shed...her color is completely different and her pattern looks different too. Before a shed, she looks deep brown and you can barely see any checkered pattern on her. After a shed, she almost looks green and the checkered pattern below her stripe shows up so clearly.

Usually by the time they reach sexual maturity, (1-3 yrs old) they are done changing color.
