...a big 'ol cutie, around 32" long and fiesty!
That makes about 4 different individuals I've seen so far this year, the spring area is great habitat.

Is that a garter snake? Are they grumpy?

...garter, one of the few snakes we see in this part of VA. This one had a bit of an attitude, but most are pretty docile. The good thing is, they come in a pretty amazing variety of patterns and colors around here. All of them I've seen have been attractive by garter standards... This one had very nice metalic bronze/gold side scales, shimmery and pearlescent...all washed out by the flash, of course. We have one big one (who occasionally puts in an appearance) that has a striking blue dorsal stripe. Hey, its not Arizona!

LOL

...these Reds are everywhere. We see lots of Cave salamanders (look similar but much longer and more slender) and Slimys also.
