A couple of Esther’s offspring. They are doing great
A couple of Esther’s babies that we held back. Check out the distinct colors, especially on the female as it goes from the orange dorsal to the grey back to the flame sides and belly.
Pretty neat, right?
Millie
That dorsal stripe…
She’s always looking for food, haha
She’s coming along great!
So happy with this little one. Firsts are fun!
Torch hanging out
She sure loves to climb.

They grow so fast…

Another one of torch’s babies. This was the goal of this project.
First pairing was Zip (albino flame) to Esther (Mo Orange). Important point - this was an outcrossing.
Roughly two years later, I paired Barney and Torch, siblings from the Zip/Esther litter.
Goal was to produce a clean albino (with little to no ery or flame influence) with the MO orange dorsal stripe. It was a long shot, statistically due to ery and flame being dominant traits. We were blessed with this little nugget.

Varying degrees of color. Ready to fly the friendly skies
Don’t believe the hype
It’s very easy for garter breeders to try to fool people into thinking that a garter that looks different, must be some uber rare new morph.
I’ve produced two of these, ever. They are siblings. These copper colored beauties look like nothing else out there. Different than an ery or ery flame. Check out that almost white lateral line!
I could easily call these some new morph or combo, but the truth is that they are siblings to Zap and the other albino ery flames posted tonight.
Just an interesting variation, nothing more.
Brigit baby
What do y’all think?
PS: ZERO color enhancements here.
Zap, looking good
She’s coming along well and so sweet
Mom: Missouri Orange Striped
Dad: albino flame (Zip)
Man, I LOVE the Missouri influence on this one. That broken pattern…
