These guys are awesome, really like the "bumblebee" patterns. This species does eat rodents, contrary to most field guides not listing that as a prey item. Female in middle pic is gravid.

Albino Garter Snake

That's some very nice stuff, Scott.
Here's a young 3-striped Santa Cruz Garter I found in April:

Thanks Tim. That's a real nice 3 stripe. What other thamnophis species did you find on your trip ? (Giant garter-T gigas, by any chance ?)

Albino Garter Snake

Scott,

I've only found Santa Cruz's so far. I imagine gigas will be extraordinarily hard to find, though a population was just discovered in San Jose (near where I stay). I'm quite surprised that I haven't seen any Cali Red-sideds, but I just got a tip on where they are found frequently.

I also have some information where a very famous type of garter is found in a public place (much of where it lives is on airport property surrounded by an 8-foot barbed wire fence).

Unfortunately I have to wait until next year before continuing on another California quest for adventure.

Tim

Incredible Scott!

Taking out another bank loan in the morning.
