Whats everybodys favorite garter snake

[BUSHSNAKE]

Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis is the "grand daddy" of all Thamnophis species, because of their large range they are one of the most naturally variable, they have commonly occuring natural color morphs such as melanistic, flame and red phase. Albinos have been found in Canada and the U.S. in such states as Massachusetts, New York, Kentucky, Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Illinois(many years back could have been semifaciatus) and each has been unique to their local. Freak morphs also appear occasionaly such as leucistic, piebald, paternless and scaleless, So from a collector/breeders point of view the eastern garter snake is an exciting snake to work with, every year gets better with these guys, if you would of told me 6 or 7 years ago that id be working with eastern garter snakes i would of laughed at you, but here i am and im here to stay! Amen

I have caught and photographed at least a dozen different (or more) easterns (meaning pattern, color, dark, light, etc...) right in my own back yard.

Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis is my favorite of all and most California species are also in my top 10 list.
