Re: Maritime garters

I'm not positive easterns and maritimes are seperate subspecies. Because the thing that defines maritimes is their faint stripes and reddish/green spots. But some easterns are stripeless or have red on them in other parts of the country like in the southeast. If they are different subspecies they probably intergrade too. I think most people recognize them as different subspecies though. Anywhom, heres a pic of one i caught about a month ago in New Hampshire. Its not the best picture and there's too much sunlight i think.
