Mixed litter born in November.. The father is Albino, the mother Het Anerythristic.
The pairing produced one very healthy snow.

Right after I took this, I moved the little one to a wet shed box to help it along.

Taken right after the shed finished.

The het sibling started to shed about 15 minutes later.

Look at that face, can you guess who the daddy is?

When this snake gets older, it's nose is going to look awesome.

A sibling, notice the coloration is not quite the same.

The snow is due to shed next, it was "blue phase" yesterday, will probably shed tonight.

I must be honest. I had never ever thought I would say I want to own a Garter snake. Seeing is how growing up in East Texas all I did was catch them and play with them. But, after seeing that red one! I WANT ONE! Where could I get one of those? Do I even want to know how much? LOL!!!! Very Beautiful snakes, your post has opened my eyes to Garter Snakes! Thanks!!!!! :banana:

We will have to see what happens in the spring.

I am pairing my two high red flames, so I should have a litter this coming 2011 season.

The red ones with black trim are around $100, the albino flames are still a new morph, but I know of 4 different breeders who have the necessary stock to produce, so the market will depend on numbers of available animals.

Guess I'll just have to keep a eye out! I want one!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

I will warn you, they are addicting.

This is one species that thrives with more than one in a cage at a time. I house most all of mine in pairs minimum.

Like a tropical fish tank, there is always some sort of activity when the lights are on.

What other species can you have a red snake, a white snake and a blue snake all in the same cage?

Once they are pinkie trained they are super cheap to have (well until you have almost 100 of them to feed, then it gets expensive.)

Those are all awesome. Even cooler that you can keep them together!

Recent feeding pics....

I don't think I have to tell you how great those look.:O The blue guy just blows my mind. Fantastic and thank you for sharing!

I've never seen snakes fed like that! You just put them in a tub full of rodents? :P That's hilarious!

I'm absolutely in love with the all-black Melanistic Eastern garter.
I know "business" is not supposed to be discussed in threads, but I'm just curious how much that one and the "Sky" would go for? I'd love to look into getting one sometime this year or next. Is "Sky" the name of that color mutation or that specific animal's name? I know nothing about Garters. :oops:
