Re: baby snake head size
I know there in PA because there on the protected list according to PA game and wildlife, so I don't see why they wouldn't atleast be in some part of NY and it does look a lot like a Short-head Garter to me also......

Re: baby snake head size
That thought had occurred to me. The description says divided anal plate. I assume that is the last scale on her belly before her tail starts. She does not have a divided anal plate. It looks like she is a garter with a short head rather than a short headed garter.

Re: baby snake head size
Yeh I think it's just a matter of genetic diversity rather than sexual dimorphism. My departed male T.s.concinnus has the same head shape as your green T.s.pallidulus. Which I must add is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!
 Oh and T.brachystoma is in north western PA and south western NY. Roy

Re: baby snake head size
I think it's an eastern....shortheads are normally the brownish color of the one in the pic, never heard of any variation in color on them....

Re: baby snake head size
