I've had my Garters for a while now, but I've never been quite sure what subspecies they are. Any help identifying them would be appreciated! Here's some pictures:
3 Year old Cuddles:

Re: What subspecies are my Snakes?
Were these purchased or wild caught? I love that picture of Cuddles!

Re: What subspecies are my Snakes?
Cuddles looks like a redsided... Anders looks like of like an eastern. I cant be sure, though. If they are wild caughts, they are probably red sideds.

Re: What subspecies are my Snakes?
They both appear to be T. sirtalis sirtalis to me. Eastern garter snake.
Locality info would be helpful but first impression is eastern garters

Re: What subspecies are my Snakes?
Cuddles looks like an eastern, T.s.sirtalis, and Anders looks like either eastern or red-sided, T.s.parietalis. Yes, if they were wild caught...knowing where they were found would help. We have another member with a Cuddles! Lovely snakes!

Re: What subspecies are my Snakes?
Cuddles was caught in Western Ontario, in the area of Kenora and Anders a little while outside of Winnipeg in Steinbach, if that helps.
