Tim,

Very nice! Did you see any other thamnophis species?

Scott,

No. It's been very dry, so snake hunting hasn't been very productive. The Santa Cruz garter was found under the bark of a fallen tree. There were about 5 or 6 skins around the tree. I bet there were more garters under the bark (it was a big tree), but I didn't want to destroy their habitat. It was quite thrilling to catch one!

Excellent find Tim. The west coast sure has its fair share of beautiful garters.
