Thanks for the habitat pic. I am always curious to see where other types of garters choose to hang out.

:D I love snakes and everything about them. Started when I was kid at my great grandma's house. She had a farm and across the creek was untouched land filled with garters!!

Looks like a perfect spot. If it was in concinnus' range, there'd be tons of them in that type of habitat.
