Stefan's garters

I think I read somewhere that the "red phase" T.s.pickeringi are actually an integrade between pickeringi and concinnus. Anyone else here of this??

I hadn't heard that, Roy. The grand-parents of mine were wild caught on Vancouver Island, which is outside the concinnus range, I believe. The pattern is identical to that of the blue pickeringi, only in red and yellow, rather than blue. If there is any intergradation, I would suspect it more likely to involve fitchi. I'd be interested to hear more though, if you could remember where you read that.
