Posted by: rhallman at Wed Aug 3 09:12:20 2005 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by rhallman ] Sounds like an Eastern Garter Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis. The Red-Sided Garter T s parietalis is not found in your area. If your are towards the western end of Lake Erie towards Michigan you may have Butler's Garter T butleri. You can do a web search to see pictures and distribution maps if you wish. Keep in mind Easterns may be quite variable in their appearance depending on location. Easterns feed on amphibians, fish, small mammals and invertebrates. Young snakes are likely to feed on worms. Butler's Garters are believed to feed primarily on earth worms. At 5 or 6 inches your snake was a neonate. | ||
