Looks like my detective work sucks at first too! LMAO! Too funny. I visit the Pines fairly often between the months of April through October, and let me tell you, the garter snakes in the Pine Barrens are few and far between. My friend that I go with, who has been herpin' the pines for almost 4 decades, has seen few Eastern garters. The only one I've ever seen is the one in the attached pic, and I just missed this snake before it got run over by a vehicle. The truckers that barrel down the roads through the Pine Belt don't stop for anything. As Karl Kauffeld once stated about the Barrens, "no other place promises so much yet yields so little".

PS -- I'm in the black top. We are standing within the pygmy pine forest area.
