One of my snakes...

Here is a video of one of my snakes...

There will be more videos coming up soon.



If someone could id this snake that would be great, thanks.

By the way, clicking the picture opens the video of it.

where are you located? it's fuzzy, but to me that look like a thamnophis ordinoes! Northwestern garter.

[ConcinusMan]

It does look a bit like a northwestern but I can't really be sure. Location would help. If it was found in the northwest, then most definitely a T. ordinoides. If you're in the eastern U.S. than it's a T. sirtalis sirtalis

Washington.

And, thanks..

My cam sucks.

Alright, thanks.

[frostyftw]

Advanced meaning old?

[ConcinusMan]

Yes. That's not a young snake. Their skin, and I mean all layers of it, loses it's firmness and that can be seen when the snake moves or bends. Also, just the way it moves, and other subtle clues (and just plain ol' experience with old snakes) tell me she's pretty old.

[RedSidedSPR]

What makes you say that?

Just curious.

Just curious what you see in the video that leads you to this conclusion?
