Ok, help me out here. An Oregon red spotted garter has a single stripe down its back with no side stripes, right? Usually has a blue or black belly? I've been checking them out online because of a photo I received from someone in Oregon that said he had one for sale. But the photo that he sent me is wrong. Half the sites online don't even list it as a native snake for Oregon and some of the ones that do have the wrong photo with it like this one: wildherps.com - Common Gartersnake (Thamnophis sirtalis) Here is the photo the guy sent me. I know it isn't a red spotted, but it doesn't look like any eastern I've run across either. Keep in mind that the web sites don't even agree on what is native there. They don't list the puget either. Only the eastern, terrestial, North Western, and Santa Cruz, but there are also the california redsided, Mountain garter, and Valley garter present in Oregon. So, I'm not sure what kind this is for sure. I'm leaning towards California red sided (not all of them have the blue) or the Valley. Opinions?
