    Garters of October

    Yeh, I know I'm a bit late....but here are some pics of garters that I found late in the season. The first two are from here in PA and the last couple are from Ithica, NY...was visiting my sister.

    This guy was sunning at a park near my house....see quite a few garters there. Only got one pic taken before a jogger scared him away.



    These are from my favorite snake spot. I've been there multible times this past year and I ALWAYS found snakes. This day, I saw garters everywhere! Makes me wonder if maybe there's a hibernaculum some where close by.

    Re: Garters of October

    The next ones I found while hiking with my sister in Ithica, NY. The first is an eastern garter (T.s.sirtalis) that I found around a stone wall at a water fall site and the second is my first Maritime garter (T.s.pallidulus)...at least I think??? Found him further up the mountain where it was rather cool.





    My wife also took a pic of me with the first garter I caught...LOL...I look like a kid with a new toy. Should have had this one for last month's contest.
