Going herpng in Eugene for 1st time this spring

[Munak]

New to the forum (member of fb group pointed me here)

I am looking to own some garters this year. (Might catch some might buy some also)

I haven't been herping since i was a kid down in southern oregon. I have accidently come across garters here before but never went out intentionally looking for them.

I know we have some very pretty snakes here. It will be fun to go looking this spring. Anyone have any recommended places to look?

I haven't gotten the chance to explore Eugene a whole lot. My son is a little bigger now and showing more interest in reptiles and loves the outdoors so I am excited to explore and herp with him. An my husband finally gave me permission to get a few garter snakes for my birthday in June! (May need a wild tank... And a captive bred tank <3 looking forward to the bioactive builds)

There are blue phase concinnus around that area

For garters edge habitat is always your best bet, powerline cuts, marshy fields, grassy openings in the forest, etc.
