I love those snakes! We need many more people with northwesterns. They are such great snakes.

I agree. They are great smaller garters.

Not to mention their super personalities. Mine are all so sweet. Except for Squirt, but she was still a fun little snake.

Wow... #3 and #4 are weird looking!!!! Especially 4, looks a lot like it could be a concinnus lacking side bars. The lime green stripe is why I say thT. I am not entirely convinced it's a northwestern... But I'm not convinced it's a concinnus either! Can we see more pics of #4?

There's a lot of northwesterns in the puget sound area that will throw you for a loop but if I'm wrong, then it's a puget lacking lateral stripes. Look at the face again. Makes you wonder.

Check out Post #16 for that photo. I thought the same thing as you. That dorsal is what made me curious.

Post #16 is the belly of a red stripe northwestern. As odd as the snake in question looks, I'm still thinking it's a northwestern. At any rate, there are no concinnus' in kitsap county.

I asked if she could post another photo of #4 and this was the next photo she posted.

That #4 still says concinnus to me but I'm not near as experienced in their identification as others.
Would love to see a face and full body shot.

The problem Richard, is that the face of that snake looks to be a sirtalis... I really don't think it's an ordinoes now that I zoomed in on the face. The face says sirtalis! And yes it could be a puget lacking laterals. I didn't catch where the OP was from. But I have seen concinnus with blue marked necks and black heads like that... But if the locality calls for puget, it Probably is!

I would have to see more pics but puget is a definite possibility.
