Hi Gertie, just a word of caution, we do not use the term "poisonous snakes" here, we use the term "venomous snakes", the latter term is more scientifically accurate, and the former term has been known to greatly upset some of the "geekier garteroids" (we all know who they are).

I was going to make a tasty snake stew once, but alas my intended meal was poisonous

Oh.

Loamy, thanks. I don't want to offend anyone. I'm glad you told me that.

I will try and remember vemonus. I've already said I can't spell it because I can't pronouce it!

My apologies to the geekiest of geeky garteroids.

Again, thanks much, Loamy.

Garters are infinitely variable. In my own back yard, I have found ones with stripes, no stripes, yellows, oranges, a female with a black head I have right now, it never ends!

Wha I was referring to, is that I actually found two genetically different than normal population snakes in the same area. My hypo, and my erythristic. An erythristic garter is one that has a LOT of red, all over it's body. They differ from flaes in that they don't have that bright white stripe and their red isnt just limited to the sides of them, its on their face, their belly, its everywhere! Mine happens to be a very dark rusty red. The other 20 + garters I found there were all "normal" so to speak, but each one was still different. The third week of july, I will be away herping in the mountains where I usually find some gorgeous garters, especially these ones with peach colored faces! I cannot wait to document my finds!
