Day of Herping

Steel phase??

Steel phase??

You can divide the patterns up into lined or non-lined.
From there, you can divide the colors up into brown, steel, and tan.
From there, you can divide the subcolors into salmon, cinnamon, or slate; then if you want you can add the belly scale colors.
Basically, to describe it, you work your way from the ventral surface down to the belly scales. So that girl would be a lined steel-slate phase.
I'll get pictures of the different combos once I find every one again... The neatest one I found was a lined steel-salmon; boy was she nifty.

"almost flame" eastern is a perfect description for those lil devils. I come across those from time-to-time. i am only a couple hours drive from Butler's territory. These pics make me wanna gas up the car and go! Great stuff, looks like a fun day of herping.

You never know; there may be some near you!
I've been living here under the impression that I could never find anything more than eastern garters... Check around during different times of the day/weather conditions, and you might actually find some neat stuff near you...
