Well this is my first time herping for garters. I went out towards where I used to live as a kid and maybe a 15 min bike ride from there is a park and through that particular part of the park a train track goes though it. And then beside the park is kind of an open area where there's lots of old railway tie's and scrap wood and other things for garters to hide under. And if you go down further there's a whole bunch of piles of sand (perfect for making dens in) there about 6 feet high or so and about 8 feet or more in diameter at the base. A co-worker of mine lives not far from there but the other way from my old house, and has been over at this place quite a few times with his sons herping for garters and other things. Well I went out today with another co-worker and his step son and we caught a total of 6 smaller garters, and saw about another 3 or 4 bigger one's.
I did bring my camera (smart thinking on my part ) so here's some pix

Here's the first 2 that we saw and caught (They were under separate railway ties but within 4 feet of each other.

This is the third one we saw, the pic is kinda blurry though, sorry

Here's another pic of the 3rd that we caught and the forth one as well, I kept the one with the solid colour and just the dorsal stripe. They were hiding under a couple pieces of 'OSB' Orientated strand board that was laying between two of the sand hills.
