Nov 10 update: Looking for new living arrangements.

PMs only please

ENZ-M5 to M7 awesome project. 12”-17”! Dam is Esther, a Missouri Orange striped to Zip, an albino flame. These are 100% het albino. Dorsals may turn more orange over time. This is an outcrossing which is very important.

GONE - CEL-M2 - this one was spoken for a couple of times and then people changed their minds. 13” male high expression ery flame 66% poss het albino. Dam is Celeste, sire is Barney, two killer young breeders in the collection. Investment level animal

DCS-F2. Two litters of Dixie County Florida Blue Striped babies from high blue adults. Currently 6-7” in length and eating/pooping machines. Not for the impatient types, as these take time to turn blue.

APHBA-F7. Albino plains that are 66% ph for blue “axanthic”. One ery blizzard in the litter confirms that. 8-11”. Males and females. Varying amounts of ery expression thus far

California Redsided garters. Males and females. F3/F4 and M4. California Redsided from high blue adults. 7.5”-11.5” in length. Already coloring up very nicely.

Someone recently asked me how I knew for sure that my albino radix were also poss het for “blue ax”. Well, 1) I don’t do random breedings. I know exactly what I paired and which genes those parents carry and 2) when you have a visual triple gene sibling in the litter, it removes all question.

Albino poss het blue ax and ery blizzard siblings :)

They only get better with time too! Can’t wait to see how this one turns out.

Dang, I love this stuff!

Let’s learn about a cool locality eastern. This is the Apalachicola eastern garter, found in and around the Apalachicola state forest in the panhandle of Florida.

Distinguishing features: erythrism and shades of grey to blue on sides, virtually no dorsal stripe, arrow shaped marking on back of head, heavy barred and broken pattern.

We love them. What do y’all think?

These were spoken for, but are again, ready to ✈️

Gotta make room for a new incoming project. Pretty rare opportunity here…

My gentle giant Scotts garters. They are just 4 years old and I raised them from tiny little babies.

She is 48”+ long and a beast, for garter standards. Absolutely pounds food so you will need to be careful not to overfeed her.

He is approx 31” and easy to handle as well.

Considering new living arrangements. PM only please

Mother Nature is making safe shipments across the US dicey this week. I suggest you delay anything that transfers in Memphis or Indy until next week

Thank you to those that are waiting for shipments from us. We appreciate your patience

Learn about this interesting project

I get lots of messages, as you might imagine. I do my best to respond to all of them. A fair number of them are in the vain of…”have you thought about combining ______ with ______?”

First, I love that other people are losing sleep like I am, over these thoughts. Hahaha.

But in many cases, it also shines a light on how garter breeding and genetics are misunderstood by many.

This project is a good example. These three males are siblings. Now, wrap your head around this…none of the visible genes in this combo are recessive. Think about that. How could they look SO different, without recessive genes causing it?

Let’s walk through this together…

Their mother is Esther, a pure Missouri orange striped locality.

Their father is a visual albino Florida blue sirtalis, who also carries the “diffused” gene (an anery-like morph that is very dark and nearly colorless).

So what we are seeing here is no different than when two humans have babies and some have blonde hair, some have brown, some have blue eyes and some don’t, some have freckles and some don’t, etc

Back to the garters…so what we are seeing in the two lighter brothers here is a little from both parents, but more influence from the mother. The dorsal is orange, but not as bright as mom’s. The sides have hints of Florida blue (from Dad) but not much.

The darker one is strongly favoring Dad’s side. The blue from the Florida lineage and the “diffused” look as well.

So what insight do we gain from this? A few things: 1) the colors don’t mix like a paint palette, 2) traits from both parents will pass to a mix of the babies, some will lean one way, some the other and some can/will express traits of both parents.

You may be asking yourself, so if the offspring are going to look like muted versions of one or the other parent and will not be high expression of either side of the family, why combine them?

In this case, that’s easy…remember, their sire is a Florida albino. When combined with “diffused”, this will produce MUCH lighter colored albinos. Now image that if we can get a few of those to carry over Mom’s orange dorsal stripe 🙂

And now you understand the planning behind the project. Projects like this can take 6+ years to prove out. It’s a commitment to a possible, but not guaranteed outcome.

I hope that helps!

CRS-M5/M6 - California Redsided Garters. These are 12-13” now and eating chopped pinkies from a dish

GONE - NNR-F1 is a female from a pairing of an albino ery flame male to a NC erythristic female. She’s 18” and eats whole or chopped pinkies

APHBA-F4 is a female albino plains that’s poss het blue ax. This one is also low erythristic. We have males and other females too. Eating chopped pinkies

PM’s only, please

BTW, I’m meaning to say axanthic, not xanthic. I could have done a better job of pronouncing that clearly. Haha

Hi all. Unfortunately, this happens fairly often but it’s been a while since I’ve posted any warnings and someone pinged me about this again tonight…

There are LOTS of scammers out there. They use my photos and videos to sell snakes they don’t have.

I received this message tonight…see below.

Someone was trying to sell my snakes to someone.

Please be careful. If it seems too good to be true, it very well may be

For those that are waiting for shipments, thank you for your patience. If you haven’t heard, western NC and eastern TN got clobbered by Helene. Our power has been out for 3+ days now and they are estimating that it may take until Tuesday night at 11 pm for power to return.

That means that this coming week is at risk as well. Feel free to reach out for more info. We will keep them safe and fed in the meantime.

Thank you for understanding

26/09/2024

Thank you for everyone’s patience who is waiting for a shipment from us. We’ve got to let this weather clear out before we start shipping again. Silly hurricane!

For those in the path, please be safe!

Scotts Garter snake

814g of Scotti! Some other fun facts: eques are generally gentle giants. They are surprisingly shy and can be a bit nervous and musky. Babies are often defensive and bitey (especially, obscurus), but they grow out of it quickly. As you can see, with frequent handling, they can be puppy dog tame. If we can get them to this point with the huge collection that we have, so can you. Invest time into your animals and reap the rewards.

Check out the racing stripe, haha. Name suggestions for this guy? Ricky Racer? Zip looked almost identical to this and is how he got his name. The stripe looked like a zipper down his side

Someone asked recently, how Millie; Miley and Molly were doing. They are doing great!

Ery albino plains
Ery albino plains

Ery albino plains garters. DOB: 2/29/24 Waiting for the ery gene to express is like watching paint dry. I don’t usually hold babies this long but that gene just needs lots of time to start showing up. These are robust babies. SO calm and easy to handle. They eat great. 7 females and 3 males. Eating chopped pinkies and chicken heart and the males like some fish stink mixed in too. Haha. Snakes on planes! PM to discuss
