You should get a dna test done to check if it's a family pair. If they're rare morph highly unlikely that two unrelated pair would be found so close to each other unless the golden color lends itself to blending in in the area where they were found.

@ettinakitten5047 2 ай бұрын

Yeah, I think the adults are probably littermates. That'd make the most sense. If it's recessive (which seems most likely ATM), their parents might've been two het normals.

@ZephImmortal 2 ай бұрын

That would be my concern. A lot of lineages start with pairing closely related individuals, but it's not a great way to start a lineage, either. I would hope that the plan is to breed either one of the parents, or the babies, to a normal and go from there.

It's interesting that they were found in the same area. That suggests that either the locality allowed the genetic trait to be advantageous enough for it to show up in more than one snake, OR that they were immediately related to each other (ex. clutter-mates). You should hold a couple back to try to outcross them to wild-type Plains Garter Snakes or albino Plains and sus out whether it's dominant or recessive over the others or has any interesting codominances.

When you said "found in the same-ish area" and "extremely rare morph" my first thought was that they're probably siblings, given how unlikely it seems to be for multiples to be born in one region without having the same parent(s). But looking at the comments, I'm seeing that potentially others have found similar ones in the wild, so maybe not siblings but I'd still be very interested in a genetic test to see how related they are either way.

Also when brass tarnishes it can be blue, green or brown. So it fits for the blue bellies of the adults. "Brass dragons crave sunlight and dry heat, so naturally they prefer deserts, arid savannahs, and similar areas. They spend hours lying on sunning rocks high above the desert floor."

Love the name that was picked. viridian line golden garters is very pretty. This morph is very intreasting not just because it's new but the babys especially look like they would camouflage pretty well in the wild compared to other brightly colored morphs. As babys their patter reminds me of dappled sun light spots though trees and grass! While i love the name i would have probably called them sunshine instead of golden, the shade of yellow they are really reminds me of sunlight.

In snakes, it's honestly not a big deal if they are. Snakes often interbreed in the wild. It really only becomes problematic if you continue to line breed generation after generation. Hopefully, the next step with these babies would be to cross them out to a normal of the same species, since this will 1. add better genetic diversity to the next generation and 2. determine whether this is a recessive or dominant trait.

@MastaT_150 2 ай бұрын

@@Cleptrio never said it was, I understand inbreeding/line breeding is common and an accepted practice with snakes. I’m just curious to see if they came from the same clutch in the wild. Say they came from different clutches could that not lend credence to the possibility that maybe something could going on locality-wise? Not saying there is or isn’t, just curious, that’s all.

Garters come in tons of colors naturally. There is an entire species that looks like where I live. So for anyone wondering, chances are your local garter snake population is going to have a unique color and pattern variant seen nowhere else or be incredibly generic looking It never seems to be anything between those two. Without knowing what species you're dealing with you're especially not going to know what kind of genetics you're dealing with(always double check your species when you have a weird looking morph because people do get other species for pets and then release them and cause localized anomalies). Usually it doesn't end up being a morph but rather being polygenic so I guess congrats on the morph if it really is one but I would want to see out crosses before I got too excited about something like this in garter snakes specifically given how much natural variation they have. Personally I think they look like they have tire treads for their pattern instead of the typical checker so you could call them tire tread goldens, lol. Oh yeah if you want to see other species that look like this just look at any of the ones that live in Sandy or desert areas.

I dont want to be a downer but it has to be said, you'll need to outcross with a normal to actually test if it's a true genetic trait or if it's more of a locale that can be line bred since breeding two same looking adults is essentially just line breeding. The true test is if you have one golden and one normal bred together, if you do that and get half goldens or all normals then you will know it's likely genetic (all normal would indicate its recessive l, which you can then breed back to create goldens if it is a true morph). If you get just duller yellows by outcrossing with normals it's likely to be just a locale/line bred colouration. I'm very excited for this revelation but it really needs more testing before it's a confirmed genetic morph, and even if it isn't a morph it's still a cool colouration Edit for clarity in my terminology: when I refer to "genetic trait" I am referring to a single genetic mutation that is commonly known as a morph (its usually caused by a single genetic mutation, which can then be combined with other morphs to have different effects on colour and pattern) rather than the natural variation in colours between individuals and locations (which is also technically caused by genetics but is much more complicated and subjective in its nature since it is more like a sliding scale than the simpler and more binary morph vs wild type which can be proven out)

Linebred traits and localities *are* genetic traits, actually, just not single gene traits. It's weird to me that a lot of reptile people seem to think a genetic trait has to be a single gene trait. Polygenetic traits involve lots of genes that each have a small impact on their own, and that's what localities and linebred traits are - polygenetic traits - just like skin color and height in humans.

I love garter snakes! These ones are so beautiful

8:52 Ah, that explains it! At the start of the video I looked up golden garter snakes, and was able to find some garters similar to them, so I was confused why you were so excited, but if they're the first plains golden, that's awesome!

I had a farm 30 years ago and in spring when I planted early spring I always found bany garters in in soil around brush roots, red sided and many more 😊😊

Hey Emily and Ed! I’m getting my first ever snake in 2 days! I fell in love with snakes after I watched your videos! I have watched countless amounts of videos to prepare myself including your videos! You are the whole reason why I’m getting a snake! Thank you so much!

I love how chill garters are. Even wild caught ones will just be like "Sup."

I used to play with wild garters as a child, and they were super friendly even though they weren't in captivity.

I was struck by how similar these baby graders looked to Emily's golden snake ring. Golden Garder for the win.

These guys are yellow to teal to blue- golden doesn’t quite describe the morph. They are adorable. Love your videos- I think I found a new love for snakes. What a great job this would be to care for these guys. Who doesn’t love babies?

I would have called them "Golden Discovery" but 'Viridian Line golden garters' sounds very estatic and fits very well ☺

Personally, I like Golden Garter. Simple, clean, gets the point across. You know, its funny, when I was watching the Breeding Pair video, I was thinking how we haven't seen anything on Garter Snakes in a while. Then you talked about them at the very end...and now this video. Yay!

@MyEva909 2 ай бұрын

I love garters! So happy for you. And I also love the ad. I always watch it threw because of how funny you made it, I love how your animals are the helpers. Its so cute 🥰

@InsanePsychoRabbit 2 ай бұрын

You should try breeding them to wild-type plains garters to determine if it's a dominant or recessive trait, and to add some genetic diversity to the line you're about to establish.

I would have named it the "sunshine," "sunbeam," or just "sun" or "sunny" morph! Their body looks like dappled sunshine, the stripe down their back looks like a sunbeam, and even the bluish tummy is reminiscent of a sunny day ☀️✨️
