    Re: Need a little help identifying the garter I caught the other day

    It's not a Butler's garter(Thamnophis butleri) or a Plains Garter (T. radix) or Ribbon. I think it is safe to say you have an Eastern Garter (T. sirtalis)

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    That's what I was thinking. Stripes are on scale rows 2 and 3 from the ventral so I figured it was. Just wanted to be 100% sure
