Up here in Portland Oregon the snakes have began to move, This is outside a Den site frequented by Thamnophis ordinoides and Thamnophis sirtalis concinnus, I've also found Northern Alligators, Ensatina, Rough skin newts and unidentified turtles in the area. I'm sure there could be Sharp tails, Ringnecks and Rubber Boas but have yet to find any.
T. ordinoides



Ordinoides Mating
This female was dragging the male around

Sorry for the lame commentary...

Thamnophis sirtalis concinnus


I stood and watched 10-15 garters cruising in and out of the hole you can barely see.

And both species competing for the best basking spot.

I know they're "only" Garter snakes but it is nice seeing them right now.
