breeding garters

[Jeff B]

plains are a great garter to start with they are very easy to breed and care for all strains of radix are compatible and the 'christmas' is just an iowa albino bred to a red plains then the offspring were then bred back creating red albinos

Tommy, your statement "all stains of radix are compatible" is not technically correct. The "Iowa strain" albino is a T- and the "Nebraska strain" albino is a T+, just as with most snake species (and other animals too) in which these two types of albinism are present in a species they are NOT compatible. If you breed a pure "Nebraska strain" to a pure "Iowa strain" you will get all normals. This has been proven many times. Confusion can arise now a days because so many times these two types have been bred to each other or hets and possible hets arrise, so there are a lot of radix circulating that are visual for one type but hidden or unbeknown to the owner; het for the other gene.

didnt you produce one of each albino from one parent and the rest slugs? i havnt tried to breed the 2 strains but am pretty sure i seen it on your page awhile back. you really do need to update it lol theres alot that has changed in the past couple years lol
