    Question Ads on kingsnake... ID the species?

    OK folks... someone is advertising some garters on kingsnake. The first ad is for "northern garters". I think they are Plains.

    And the second ad is for "northwest blue sided garters". I am not sure of the species...

    Anyone concur on the first ad and have a guess on the second one please?

    First ad:

    kingsnake.com Classifieds

    Second ad:

    kingsnake.com Classifieds

    I agree with Don on the id on both. Saw the ads too and I'm waiting on a response from them.
