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.

Sheesh! We can’t seem to catch a break with this super cold weather pattern. Looks like the brutal cold may hang around for one more week. On a brighter note, it looks like the temps start rising towards the end of the week and following weekend.

I know many of you are waiting for shipments. Thank you for your patience. We are doing our best to get these little nuggets out to you safely.

Shipping update: it looks like Mother Nature is going to get in the way again this week. There’s another wave of bruatal cold coming.

Sometimes people say things like “it’s warm enough here in _____”. That very well may be the case, however there are three locations that have to be checked for every shipment…

Your local hub temps
Our temps
And…the temps at the transfer hub. Somehow people forget this. The vast majority of our shipments go through Memphis or Indi. So when the middle of the country has unsafe temps, safe shipping isn’t possible, even if your local temps are safe.

Believe me, we want to get them to you as soon as possible and will make every effort to do so…but we won’t put the animals at risk to do it.

Thank you for your patience!

Varying degrees of color. Ready to fly the friendly skies

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.

What do y’all think?

PS: ZERO color enhancements here.

Mom: Missouri Orange Striped
Dad: albino flame (Zip)

Man, I LOVE the Missouri influence on this one. That broken pattern…

12/01/2025

Mom: Missouri Orange Striped
Dad: Florida blue albino from the Alexander Diffused line

These pairings are what I consider “projects”. First ever, outcome unknown, fun stuff.

Hopefully this is the year for the next step in the project.

Some fav’s. Blue concinnus. Fingers crossed that it takes!

Due to these crazy low temps, we are not able to get shipments out this week and maybe next week. We are keeping a close eye on the conditions.

We appreciate your patience! Hopefully this big front passes quickly

Stay warm and safe!

Wow! I hadn’t looked on MM for quite a while and someone pointed me there today. What a mess! Folks, please do your research.

In a 5 minute scan, I saw the following…

Bug eyed albinos (from inbreeding)

People advertising 1 year olds as “adults”.

Someone listing normal easterns as “low expression ery flames”

And even worse, someone listing a normal eastern as an “axanthic”

We have done everything we can on the classifieds page to protect you from these sorts of things. We have booted many people who were trying to take advantage of people that lack knowledge about garters. Those people always find a platform.

Be careful. Lots of dishonesty out there

Update: this post has gotten more attention than I expected. Let me be clear on a couple of points:

1). Where there are humans and money, there is risk of dishonesty and deception. Read that again…”risk of…”. This is not an all inclusive statement
2). I have nothing against MM or the people that run it. I was simply stating that when it comes to Garter Snakes specifically, there seems to be a lack of review there. The people that we have kicked out of the Classifieds page, almost always show up on MM later.

I think that MM is a pretty amazing platform, actually. BUT, if someone doesn’t have much knowledge about what they are looking at, they can be deceived fairly easily.

Truth is, people should educate themselves before investing with any breeder, via any platform.

I hope that helps

Dec 22 update: adding photos as I take them this morning. Looking for new living arrangements.

PMs only please

ENZ-F4, M6 & M7 awesome project. 14-18”! Dam is Esther, a Missouri Orange striped to Zip, an albino flame. These are 100% het albino. Dorsals may turn more orange over time. M7 already has orange in the dorsal. This is an outcrossing which is very important.

DCS- Two litters of Dixie County Florida Blue Striped babies from high blue adults. Currently 6-12”in length and eating/pooping machines. Not for the impatient types, as these take time to turn more blue.

APHBA- males and females. Albino plains that are 66% ph for blue “axanthic”. One ery blizzard in the litter confirms that. 9”-13”. Varying amounts of ery expression thus far

California Redsided garters. Males and females. 8”-12” in length. Already coloring up very nicely. Only a few left.

Years in the making. So happy. First combo was Zip (albino flame) to Esther (Mo Orange striped). Result: “Crush” babies ...

Years in the making. So happy.

First combo was Zip (albino flame) to Esther (Mo Orange striped). Result: “Crush” babies that were flame and a few were orange striped and a couple were both Orange striped AND flame and all were het albino.

Best of that litter was Torch and Barney. Both high expression flame with Orange dorsal stripes and 100% het albino.

Grew them out for two years then bred them. Keep in mind that Zip to Esther was an outcrossing, which helps a lot.

Torch had her first litter this year and thankfully ONE of them, is an albino (no flame) with the orange dorsal stripe. This was one of the goals of the project. Flame is such a strong dominant gene, so my chances of getting an albino that wasn’t flame and was Orange striped, was a long shot.

Man I love this stuff! That stripe will get more and more orange. It takes a solid 6+ months for it to develop.

It’s very dark in the photo, because it just ate and is full of food.

These World Firsts are fun :)

Our last shipment for 2024 will go out Dec 17, weather permitting.
