Hey community, picked this big girl up recently and thought it would be nice to start a project with her soon. She is a great specimen of a Puget blue garter. Seller says she was a 2009 baby from Scott Felzers collection. Still have her in a quarantine tank now.
Thats super cool. I can see my newly started garter collection expanding very quickly with beauries like this floating around there. How big is she?
Thanks rep, yeah buddy get that itch scratched and grow that collection. She is 31 inches and such a big bluffer when you touch her. She really is a lovely girl.
. Should've multi quoted this response but thanks Obs for the kind words. No need to be jealous as soon as possible I want to get her to lay a litter and I will have a couple for you. I heard the work to get them to reproduce in captivity is difficult! Fingers crossed on this project.
Very pretty garter. I believe this species was shown on today's episode of snakebytes.

Thanks Alex! Yes they are a blue phase garter but they also come in a yellow and another color that escapes me at the moment. Thanks em, I watched the vid and that particular Florida blue is the T.S. similis and the blue that I have is the Puget Sound blue T.S. pickeringi.
Ah, ok. I couldn't remember the species name from the video. And, I know very little about garters.

Well, they look very much alike but I don't think their ranges criss cross at all. I believe the Florida blue is a east coast species and Puget Sounds are west coast. That video was awesome and thank you for that.
