Maritime Garter

[Tyrel26]

This is the green maritime garter Ive been asking about, and yes I now realize its not rare but its still a beauty. May be nice if I can breed it with a melanistic mate in the future, as there have been many photographed in this area. As I have asked before, why is it that maritime garters dont seem to be as common as other types in this hobby?

that looks more like an eastern to me
is maritimes all you got up there?

[Tyrel26]

Maritimes are suppose to be the only type of garter we have, other than that we have ring necks, smooth greens, red bellies and ribbon snakes but no eastern garters. But if you think thats what it is, is there any other way to tell?

[drache]

I don't think so
I have not actually been able to figure out what the difference is other than location
the more I read, the less conclusive it seems
so if you're in the maritime range, I guess that's what it must be then

That is indeed a very nice green color. Sure looks like a maritime to me also, but I'm no expert. True maritime's are few in the hobby as are any garter that green. Take good care of it!
