Re: Outdoor Photos - Mojo & Masubius
Garters are pretty fast. Aren't you afraid they're going to take off and you won't be able to catch them? I'm afraid to take anything other than my largest, slowest snakes outside. But those pictures are awesome. I love the red one!

I will not do this with a juvenile or a male snake, since the males (Garter snake) are so much smaller and faster. The females are larger and slower plus a lot more mellow so they are more inclined to hold still while I take pictures.
It also helps to have some other people standing close by "spotting" just in case.

Re: Outdoor Photos - Mojo & Masubius
The cool thing about the flame gene, it's a simple co dom. I can put most any male with her and get more flames.
However I have a guy all lined up to ensure really powerful reds in the babies.
This guy....(next year he will be old enough to breed)

Re: Outdoor Photos - Mojo & Masubius
they are going to make some very,very nice garters mate.
the only co dom gene ive worked with is the coastal jaguar gene.its lethal though if you put 2 jags together as it produces some leucistic hatchlings (the super form of the gene).the longest one of these have lived is a couple of hours after coming out the egg.most die in the egg.thats why the jag genes sometimes reffered to as a lethal gene.jags also suffer a lot from neuro issues.head shakes and at the worse end of the scale complete corkscrews around their tanks.
does the garter co dom have any such problems ?
cheers shaun

Re: Outdoor Photos - Mojo & Masubius

Re: Outdoor Photos - Mojo & Masubius
great looking snakes, i must admit you have turned me into a bit of a garter fan. It just amazes me the amount of variety in colours and pattern they have.

Re: Outdoor Photos - Mojo & Masubius
And the hobby is just getting started. All sorts of crossings and genetics fiddling going on.
Imagine the morphs on the horizon for future breeding seasons.
