    Re: Some photos of wandering garters from Wyoming :)

    LOVE that blue vagrans! Most of ours here are very earth toned with only mild spotting and generally more faded yellow dorsal stripes.

    Yeah, I know what you mean. Around here, Coast Garters (Elegans Terrestris) have that same kinda variation. Along the outer coast they're usually either a bright crimson red, or a dull brick red. Heading East in the flatlands, specimens are usually black/w yellow stripes or black with with a suffusion of red or orange spots along their lateral stripes. The latter bears a strong resemblance to the 'Flame' T.s.sirtalis from the East Coast. When you go further inland up in the hills, they tend to be brownish. For someone who isn't familiar with garters, these animals can look like totally different species.

    Send them to their hide without dinner.

    Not sure what to tell you, I don't have any wanderings at the Ranch. Don't know much about them.

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

    No, just watch your fingers and be happy that you have such well-functioning snakes.

    That's what I do. Haven't been bitten yet, in the 5 years that I've kept vagrans.

    I'm not sure that there's anything that you can do to change their aggressive behavior. But to prevent them from biting you during feeding, you can use tongs.
