The pond was dried up and the owners of the area dug up the area, it's now very dry here. I've only seen those 3 colours of snakes here but the blue ones are totally gone. My friends dad had 10 garters and he paid me 60 dollars for a blue one once. He said they were extremely rare. But I haven't seen anyone with a northwestern garter with a blue stripe.
When I was a kid I think one of my dad's workers caught a valley garter snake and let me hold it for a while... Until it bit me and I started crying I've always been interested in snakes, they just scared me when they bit

Have any of you seen the blue northwesterns? they look exactly like a regular garter here(black with tan sides) except the blue colour
