    Wild Blue garter in MN? (WARNING: pictures/dead snakes found in nature)

    DISCLAIMER: Don’t look any further if you don’t want to see pictures of dead snakes! I’m sorry for posting these. I was sad to see them, too. These snakes were found dead in a national refuge after a prescribed prairie grass burn. This is not a judgement call on prescribed burns. I am pro-prairie restoration.

    I found this blue snake in the Minnesota Valley Nationals Wildlife Refuge on 5/4/18. I was shocked to see a blue garter. I’ve never seen one in the Midwest. Can anyone identify the species? I’m no good at that.

    I found three more dead garters nearby that looked more like the ones I’m used to seeing here.
