When I was first getting into garter snakes, I was going to breed an Oregon Red-spotted to a Red-sided. It got sold to me as a Red-sided. Had it not been for me noticing the dark colored belly, and Scott Felzer correctly identifying it for me and telling me why hybridization was bad, I might have ended up with a bunch of hybrids. So this can also be an educational thread to prevent hybridization.


    Then you should have posted the purpose of the thread.
    I certainly didn't think this was an "educational" thread
    from the way it was described.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Yeah, you're right, I'll ask one of the mods to add: "***Note: This thread is to help educate people to recognize hybrid garters and to prevent the spread of non-pure bloodlines***"
