A person with more know how about garters than me, Has told me Martha is a red-sided garter.
The last time she ate he pointed out the tiniest hint of red in her flanks as she swollows her food,
She is due a feed tonite so I will take some pics to show you.
Up until now I thought she was an Eastern.......or are they the same thing?

Re: Martha is a red-sided
Red-sided are T.s.parietalis and easterns are T.s.sirtalis. Different subspecies. Be aware, though, that easterns can have red in between the scales. Show us another pic please....

Re: Martha is a red-sided
The red could also be a touch of erythrism. Codominant traits have a wide range of expression.
