i was just given a grab bag of garters

The photos aren't great. But I think you're looking at:
2 x T. marcianus
1 x T. cyrtopsis occelatus (looks like an EBN to me, but not very bright markings, so not a young snake)
1 x T. radix
1 x T. sirtalis sirtalis (flame)
1 x some species of ribbon.

But I stand to be corrected on about half of the guesses above.

Most of them look like they are a good weight, but the smaller of the checkereds (bottom right of the second photo) looks a bit skinny.

If this they've been kept together like this I'd be concerned if it looks like the big checkered girl (I'm guessing the big checkered will turn out to be female) looks gravid...

hehe.... None of these are remotely correct but that's okay. You did get the ribbon!

There are definitely no checkereds, no radix, and no Easterns in this group

Oh well, all the species you suggest are species I've never seen. There's so many species that we rarely see in the UK, don't think we get many T. elegans so they aren't species I'd normally think of.

I knew that you aren't from the US and don't see garters like we do! If you showed me a bucket of natrix I would probably have some difficulty.
