shorthead garter pics

[annulataarethebest]

These are pics from last year, I'm going to attempt to get some new ones sometime in the near future but figured I'd post these for those who haven't seen them.

This is a typical adult shorthead garter snake, probably about 15".







Here's a little neonate shorthead that was maybe a month or two old. These pics were taken at the end of August, I'm curious as to if females started dropping babies yet.





Little guy was kinda plump because he just ate. The only prey item they'll take, worm. Most of the shortheads I find have just eaten, especially after a rainy day... Earthworms come out and the shortheads follow.

I'd never even heard of those until recently. They're very neat looking.

Awwww! They look kind of like Pumpkin without the orange. It makes me want some, they are too cute.

Where do you find them again?

[snakehill]

Why is no one helping me out here? Do I have to Google it?

[RedSidedSPR]

Yes.

They're in New York I believe. But, they're a protected species.
