Why isnt there a chart for breeding different varieties of T. Sirtlais sirtalis here?

lol what I meant is there should be a chart on breeding, example if you take a melanistic & breed back to a normal what do you get & so on& so forth that kind of chart ,but thx for all your answers :-)

melanistic x normal (non het) = normal 100% het melanistic. The same goes for any simple recessive trait. Most garter morphs are recessive except for a few that are codom! Codom means you will get visuals in the first generation. See below for the list of codoms that I can think of at the moment. I'm sure i'll leave some off so if you see something missing feel free to chime in.

EASTERNS:
flame, born visual
erythristic, some color up over time.
anery / black and blue phase, mohr, alexander, and west Virginia strain some darken up over time

CHECKEREDS:
pastel, born visual

PLAINS
red plains, some color up over time
I think the blue axanthic plains is codom, but it's a little more complicated so maybe scott or jeff will chime in on that one.

There is such a chart. it's called a punnett square. I think what you're really looking for is a genetics 101 crash course. Once you learn that, this "chart" you speak of, becomes completely unnecessary.

Good point and great advice.
