Posed this before- this spring I found two garters, one ring-necked, and one orange-bellied under the same cut log. All six to ten inches. Curious about it.

It is common for mixed species to seek shelter under the same cover.
Sometimes it results in a meal for one of them. (Ringnecks eat snake)
Thanks, Wayne. It was the ringneck, being the smallest, that got eaten. Also the very small orange bellied. The smaller of the two remaining garters was very nervous, the larger quite placid. A hard lesson for a small girl; she kissed them and let them go.
