OK, I got it. I’m a little south of MN. WAY south! I see these snakes all the time and have always been told they were garter snakes. I’ld just like to know exactly what kind of snake it is.

He lives in Missouri. The species doesn’t exist there. I’d say its just an eastern, as they sometimes have that pattern, and there isn’t red on the sides.

Hey Tim, I actually live in Mississippi(MS). I think you’re right about it being an eastern garter, but I can’t confirm North MS as being within their range.
