[GarterGuy]

Maritimes and Easterns look very similar, usually it's the spotting pattern that gives them away, but it's not 100% accurate. With the locality data though (the eastern most range of T.s.sirtalis), I'd have to agree with the others and say an aberrant colour of Eastern garter. Maritimes are no where even close to this range. I'd probally have to guess it's possibley an amelanistic individual. Very interesting specimen.
