Listed as Easterns

I saw this ad at Kingsnake.com. It says baby Easterns. From the photo on the seller's site they look like Plains garters to me. What do you think?

Re: Listed as Easterns

the ad is gone...the pic is blurry and hard to tell. kinda looks like a florida blue with the distinct stripe, but can't tell on the side if it's a plains, does have spots below the side stripe, but not clear enough to see what scale rows thw stripe are on (rows 2 and 3 are easterns, rows 3 and 4 are plains)

Re: Listed as Easterns

Have to agree with Don, it looks like there's spots below the lateral stripe, but there's no way to do scale counts with such a blurry pic.

I would have to agree... just based on the general appearance...
