Garters vs Ribbons

[Elliot]

I don't think that there's really a difference. One of my ribbons is as calm as my wandering garter, and my maritime garter is jumpier than my other ribbon. I would say that it depends more on the individual, not the subspecies.

I definitely lean in the direction that ribbons AND t.s.similis (blue striped garters) are generally more high strung than many other garters. Of course they vary from individual, but I definitely, without a doubt, noticed a difference in temperment overall between many subspecies.
