Well, I thought I would follow the lead of a few other members and start a thread for my collection. I'll start off with some of my garters, and then add some of the others over time, maybe 5 pics at a time. For those who dont know me, I have a large collection, so it will take some time to get them all in here.
These will be all recent or new pics. If any questions on species- I use the terminology found on california herps.com(for Ca. natives, anyhow) unless otherwise stated.

First off, my Coast Garter T. e. terrestris - I've raised her up from a baby.


My Sierra Garter T. couchii - also raised from a young one, been in the collection for over 5 years. Shes pushing 3 feet long.


My Checkered Garter T. marcianus. Still fairly small, but growing well.


My California Red Sided Garter T.s. infernalis. I just posted this pic in another thread, but the pic is only a few days old, so good enough...


And now one of my favorites, I have not posted this snake yet. I was offered this animal by a friend up north, so I gave one of my other 2 northwesterns to a friend to make room for her (I think you'll understand why when you see her). I've had her for a few months now.
Northwestern Garter T. ordinoides



I will continue to add snakes over the near future, but thats all for tonight.
