The varied colors will always lead me to my confusion. I look at Toothless and can barely see any red spots, then compare what I have I see s a very close resemblance to the T.s.fitchior even T.s. concinnus.

Like the other tread on SF Garters where some would same T.s. infernalis is just T.s. tertaenia without bars, all very confusing. I guess scale count would always be the precise way to tell them apart.

I guess after time I will be able to see the difference.
