Re: Thinking about buying.. Morph? Or nice banded?
Hi,
To tell a woma definately I think you need shots of the top of the head and the belly.
Not that I could pick one out of a bucket of garter snakes mind.

That one sure looks neat, almost like tigers(not the combo)/genetic bandeds, but I guess could be a woma.. or a normal for that matter.
It'd be a good pickup imo.

He's only asking $60, but the only thing is its a male. If its just a banded normal I have no interest. If its a Woma on the other hand I will be interested.

Stunning reduced-pattern. I would reconsider him, if I were you--if you can make a clutch with girls that look like that out of him, they'll be a HUGE bonus to your breeding projects. Reduced-pattern, if I remember correctly, isn't necessarily a single gene, but it is heritable. There is a single-gene version of it, too.
He doesn't look like a woma to me, and I breed womas. He could be one with not-so-great color. Have to see the top of his head to be completely sure.
Honestly, he's worth a try to dink with, because 'just a banded normal' could produce some really great offspring, even if it's not a single gene. I think people put too much weight on single gene morphs, when selective breeding can produce some stunning results without any aberrant genes.

Yeah problem is I already have too many dinker projects. I probably have like 6 dinkers. Plus all my reduced pattern stuff will be coming from him:

Wow, what is that, a black-back spider? lol...cool animal!
I can see why you might pass on the reduced male. (I still think he's cool, though).

That is one beautiful snake you got there, wow!!! I haven't seen much of this around. Very clean looking pattern. Definitely a work of art!
