    Re: i was just given a grab bag of garters

    The snake with the orange stripe is a red- striped ribbon ribbon - t. Proximus rubrilineatus - without a doubt

    the 3 that are brown and Drab with black spots and heads are wanderings - t. Elegans vagrans - without a doubt

    the one with a big yellow stripe and red on its sides is either a valley or a redsided... Leaning towards valley... T. S. fitchii - they're basically the same snake from 2 different areas.

    The one that is really black with 3 bright yellow stripes doesn't look like another valley at all...looks to be a mountain garter snake - t. Elegans elelegans

    I see what you mean about the really black and yellow one, i didn't pay that much attention to it at first, but it could be an elegans. I thought that most elegans elegans had a cream or yellow colored belly though. Are you sure the red stripe couldn't be a northwestern?

    Look up "mountain garter snake" and take a look at those. They're jet black and bright yellow... Very awesome snakes.
