    Looks marcianus to me. You do get some very nice olive coloured examples. In fact, I remember James' female, called Olive, being quite, well, olive.

    I do know that there was a run of idiots crossing radix with marcianus a few years back. Even to the point where they were getting sold as 'Great plains x checkered garters' in shops. Sadly, unless you have the full history on the animal you will never know as hybrids sometimes don't show the traits of one parent species at all.
    Keeping - 'Florida blue' sirtalis, concinnus, infernalis, parietalis, radix, marcianus and ocellatus.

    This is true, but radixes and marcianus' share a lot of similar traits and I've seen the results of crossing them on the web before. They really do just look like a blend of the two.

    It kind of looks like a marcianus face with a radix body to me?
