How far south in VA? In the county I live in I've only ever seen one color variation, but they're a real pretty green. Gopher (there's a pic of her up in the gallery thing) was found in VA (Rockingham County)that's a good 6 hours from the NC border. And less that 3 from DC, so they can vary a lot from here to there. I don't know if my comment helps any...I always used to find garters when we mowed the lawn...
