    Welcome. Please stick around.

    Wow, what a way to start on the forum you show-off. Way cool garters.

    I must say one thing though, don't take it wrong, but I don't see any of those snakes being a Oregon red-spotted. If you're referring to the snake in the second pic, I wouldn't say that's a concinnus, at least, not a pure one. Looks rather muddy. Oregon Red-spotted garters are just that. They have red (or orange) spots on a dark background unless they are anerythristic, then it's whitish or pale blue spots. That one has red sides with dark spots. That never happens with true oregon red spotted garters.That snake looks closer to a T. elegans or a T.s. fitchii (valley garter) than an oregon red-spot. "Just sayin"

    Still, I have to say, awesome garters you have there.

    Re: Check out my pics

    Can we get bigger picture? the more I look at it, the more it looks like a valley garter but it's hard to tell. You know, the two can look very similar and their ranges are not far apart. Just 30 miles or so east of my location, you leave concinnus territory and run into T.s. fitchii's that look a lot like T.s. concinnus. Yours wouldn't be the first fitchii to be sold as a concinnus, that's for sure. I've even suspected some of them to by hybrids between the two.

    T.s. fitchii in WA look like this, but again, it's red spots on a dark background. A lot of inexperienced people misrepresent or misidentify these as oregon red spotted garters, simply because they find them in Oregon.
