    I don't get that either because if I'm not mistaken erythristic is co dom so how could there be hets, and what's peach flame? It's either flame or it's not. Now that I'm starting to learn more I'm staying away from shady breeders. Just because its a very well known breeder doesn't mean they won't try to make a quick buck on someone new to garters. And It's a shame because it may be one of the main reasons garters aren't as popular in the hobby.

    I think the term peach flame is for lower end flames that have a peachy color down the side still flames just not as much color. Don't hold me to this though. That's just the way I understood it.

    I think the reason garters are not as popular in the hobby is because lots of people cringe when they see how small the babies are and don't like the idea of cutting up pinkies, fish, and worms to feed them. At least this is what I have been told at shows by lots of people. They admire how beautiful and active they are, but don't want to deal with the hassle of feeding them as babies. They want to throw a pinky in the cage and be done. I love working with garters, but this is what I was told by several different people at shows and on forums.
