 Couple of pics

I haven’t posted photos in a long time, so here goes:

Two year old young adult female eastern born here. Very friendly girl



This is Prettyboy (don’t laugh)...named when it was a baby, turned out to be female



This is Goldie, he is an unusually yellow eastern male 2 years old this summer



Oregon red spotted garter - adult female, looking for a male for her. Also have a very young female baby from her



Albino Checkered garter - I have two females old enough to breed - looking for a male



I also have two puget sound garters - a adult female and a young baby I believe to be male - don’t have good photos of them though. And I have 3 California redsided babies as well as both parents.

How do you tell if it is a garter.

There are a couple of things that say a snake is a garter.
1. Their size - Adult garter females rarely reach more than 3 1/2 feet long. Most are closer to 3, with males being around 2 foot and a lot slimmer.

2. Garters generally have a stripe down their back that starts just behind the head and goes the length of their bodies. 2/3rds of them have side stripes as well

Your best move is to find out what snakes are likely to be found in the state and area where you would be looking. Then read the descriptions for each so that you know what one is likely to look like.

Hope that was of some help.
