Re: Blue (eastern) garter snake

i recently took a trip sunday to a river of my favorites to w\see wat was out . the bus didnt go all the way, so i ended up hiking a few miles to my spot , then it was getting dark n kool,still found 2 garrters and a bullfrog
a third garter was found dead next to a pondby my girlfriend.
it had solid clean bright blue striped with blue in between the checkers and its head was almost turquoise . it was freshly dead probly by a crow or a hawk or some sort of bird of prey

could these colors have been becuase of the death? i am almost certain these were its natural colors. i wish i had a picture of it . it was rediculously awesome looking ,ive caugth eastern garter in ym day with blue in them but not like this .

your lucky find looks like my "stripeless"easterns they cheker up when they get bigger and they got a bit of bright blueish green in them but notweer near as kool as yourguy .
you have a lucky yard/ area of property
enjoy the spring
