After many days of searching, I got one!

Managed to find 3 garters this morning, 2 where normal looking phases, and this one. Didn't even try and bite, but did decide to poo on me lol. Reminds me of Scott's "Chocolate" wandering garter snake morph. I'm satisifed, while he is only just over a foot hes still full of spunk. Also realized my large "male" is actually female... So maybe next spring I'll have some babies on the way who knows! Here are my not so great pictures. He's not used to people yet but I did my best.

That's a very nice looking snake. I know, I know, I say that about every garter. ..but I mean it every time.

Except albinos.

Nice looking wandering...normal tho. I have 2 "chocolates" and they are black with some tan areas. Where did you find those??

[Lee]

Figured he was normal, just hes darker than all the others I've found so it made me think of it. Oh and hes brown/black with tank to. only dark yellow as stripe. Found them near a drainage area like creak thing next to a bike path.

Nice snake Lee, well done you.

wandering garters can be gray to brown to green...little bit of variety! They were the first snake I started keeping...back in 1980!!!!!

[Lee]

They are very nice garters IMO. Their large size and colors makes them great pets.

Have you been keeping garters consistently since then? That's awesome.
