    Question about T. marcianus subspecies -

    I've found image examples of T m marcianus, but I can't seem to find any of T m praeocularis, or T m bovalli - can anyone point me in the right direction, or give me a written description?

    Both these photos are taken from the book "The Garter Snake, Evolution and Ecology" By Douglas A. Rossman, Neil B. Ford and Richard A. Seigel.
    Plate 7 of the photo section.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Thank you so much for the scans, Steve! I've ordered a copy of the book from Amazon, it looks like it will be a friggin' necessity as my collection grows.
