I would have to say T.s.parietalis (Red Sided garter snake) Supralabials- upper lip scales 7 and row 2 and 3 on the lateral stripe.
Sage and Onion are good looking snakes.

really? I wasn't too sure what they were personally but I didn't think red sided :/

I agree with Stefan and Steve...although they do look like some easterns I have seen north of here...they also look very much like the red-sideds without the red...like Chris's.

Yep, they look like my Nobby who we decided was a parietalis. I occasionally see tiny flashes of red in the light scales below the lateral stripe, but she's not really what you'd call a high red.

sorry it took so long for a reply I've only just got back on the computer :) i bought them from a lad through facebook he got them through a trade and didn't really know what to do with them or how to care for them properly. He'd fed them on rat pups and mice but I tried them on some salmon for their first feed with me and they love it :D
