    Might have been a T.s.parietalis (Red Sided Garter).
    They are known to have black bellies. Saw many in Canada.
    You are in T.s.p range.

    Re: Plains Garter Underside

    that was my first thought too Steve, sounds red-sided, sometimes if they aren't engorged with food you can barely see the red, or if they are dirty on the sides, all you see is the dorsal stripe and they can look "plainsey"
