Thanks everyone, for the comments! I've never really paid any attention to gartersnakes, even though I have seen many very pretty ones. I'm not really sure why, but I guess I just focused more on other colubrids. But this little girl just entertains the heck outta me. She's always cruising or fishing, or chillin' in the branches. She's really, really coole...

And than I found out that garters actually seem to prefer communal habitation. Heck, how you can you beat that? So I'm getting her a friend at the end of the month...
