    As badly as you might want to try breeding snakes, please wait until you have a matching pair.

    Re: Breeding related snakes?

    If one wants to try this and not cross boundaries, I suggest a Florida blue Sirtalis crossed with a flame Sirtalis.

    However, your resulting litter would be blue babies and red babies, not too sure of the purple babies, or it would already have been done.

    That would be like crossing an albino with a Melanistic in hopes of Grey offspring. or checkered flag babies....

    Never seen any of those either.

    However not entirely out of the question, there is one example of an albino flame that I know of, but all that is a snake with the Melanin bred out, not really a pink snake.

    Perhaps that's where checkered garters came from? :O

    Re: Breeding related snakes?

    Lexa, don't do it. Please? Please stay within your sub species. Get really good looking mates to go with what you and your friend have.

    PLEASE DO NOT HYBRIDIZE (did I spell that rite??)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Don't worry, we won't breed them - I was just asking about it, that's all. I'd thought they were the same species but different colours, and it would be OK, but I stand corrected . Now that I know they're actually different subspecies, I won't consider breeding them. I was just curious!

    Is it safe to come out now?

    Well technically if you think about it... I don't think there's been any bloodwork on Thamnophis genetics extensively, so in the next 20 years we could find out that T. sirtalis paritalis and T. s. sirtalis are both the same thing. :P
