I lived on the eastside. philip and jefferson. Not alot of garters there. But where I grew up at in Ann Arbor ,tons of eastern garters. Never found a butlers though. Untill I moved to Ohio. The garters back home have a really bright yellow stripes. The garters I've found in ohio many times have spots in between dull colored stripes giving them a checkerd appearance. Also I've been told the melanistic trait is very common.
