    Some Cool Garters I Found Last Week

    I took a trip to NorCal in mid-August and found the following:

    Big Coast



    Brown Coast:


    Really red Coast Garter:


    California Red-sided:


    Aquatic intergrade:


    Not a Garter, but still very cool - my first Rubber Boa:


    I've got more pics in the "Herping USA" section of my website.

    Starling96: (how big was the rubber boa?) That one was male and it was 16 inches. Later in the trip we found a gravid female, which was about two feet.

    BUSHSNAKE: (what do ya think santa cruz and diablo intergrade?) Joe, they're said to be three-way intergrades between the two you mentioned and Oregon Garters. It's hard to say for sure, since they're so variable. I'd like to see the Red-sided after it shed, I think it would have been much more colorful. If you still need a male SC Garter, let me know.

    Here's some more Coast Garter pics from the trip this month:
