you beauty. i am too far east for those.

Thanks for the pic! It must be nice to find something like that locally! Jeff

Yes it is nice to find them in this area with such good color. Just for the record I am not a big fan of wild caught, but she had such good bright red that I couldn't refuse and it's perfectly legal in my state as they are far too common to be protected, not that is a really good justification but, I am going to try to breed her to a anerythristic red-sided male that I got from Scott Felzer. Apparently even the hets can be slightly visually different, can't wait to see how that turns out. If they don't breed I have a regular red-sided as a back up.

You know the grass is always greener somewhere else, I would love to live where eastern box turtles and corn snakes and or melanistic easter garters live, I think it would be cool to see them in the wild.
