Uniting erythristic Eastern strains

[ssssnakeluvr]

awesome eastern!!!!

oh wait. Duh. The title of the thread confirms they are erythristic. Now that's a perfectly natural morph. Now if you could produce a snake that was albino AND erythristic, now that would be a designer morph.

I´m my oppinion these should be seen as and intergradients of a natural occuring and a designer morph.
Erythristics are occuring in the wild, but they would not migrate 50 miles to find the most red mate.
Another example:
We are selecting redsides for four or five generations now. We´ve started by mating Redsided Garters from different populations. They were hand picked from all imported snakes in the petshops. Of course we only took the nicest, brightest most red avaliable specimens. If´you now compare Steve´s fotos from Narcisse to the breeders, I´ve posted in the "next seasons breeding project" thread, you´ll see very differing `morphs´.

Four to five years breeding ... now, that is commitment.

Nevertheless, then I guess Scott and Alan like your self do the same. I’m just a hobbyist collector.

Note to self ... start looking for tan Easterns

Five generations are correlating to 12 years continuance in that project

I´m a hobbyist too, but collector and allocator!

Very very nice garter snake congrat!!One question why do we called them erythristic to me it's brown ....not red!?

[ConcinusMan]

I suppose so.

Thanks for posting this, Udo!! (I have to check the forum more often )
They look amazing and I hardly can wait for next week....
I'm looking forward to see how they will develop the coming time.
