Brand new Thamnophis! :D

I'm thinking the ID books have it wrong...

Where do you think they are wrong, Kyle? The ID books state 'lateral stripe on scale row 4 anteriorly', ie near the head!

Ne'ermind. XD
I've seen other sources *googling for them at the moment* say the stripe overlaps onto 4 through along the whole body.
By the way, on a more interesting note, I've decided to name the snake James. lol

I've always wondered why it's a separate species from T. sirtalis... From one article I just read it states that butler's are neotenous form of T. radix.

Checked with the DNR on that a few months ago, it's 150% legal.
So I'ma start a captive breeding project. Obviously, we need more of this handsome garter in collections.
