    Not T.butleri - Butler's Garter

    I would like to do a facial scale count and a body scale count so some closer, well focused photos would be best.

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

    T. sirtalis sirtalis or (probably) T. sirtalis parietalis, but a T. sirtalis either way. Definitely not a T. butleri.

    Head looks too elongated for a T. Butlerii.
    T.Butlerii side stripes start 3-4 rows above the belly plates and are distinct. The belly scales may be tan, but the next three rows of tiny lateral scales are dark, then they abruptly change into a distinct yellow tan or whitish side stripe. No red on the neck nbutlers never have red or orange skin on the neck, easterner in Michigan almost always do.
    Butlers and are also small- big gravid females are still smaller around than my finger, and all have heads smaller than the tip of my little finger. 40 to 50 grams is a good sized adult, and the ones in my area max out around 20-24 inches

    I agree with Joe! We need to know what area this snake was found in. Maybe Thamnophis elegans elegans.
