Flames

aww cmon post a pic shes close enough to a flame i saw her myself after all
she has that red stripe all the way to the tail

She does, and I've posted quite a few pictures of her before.
But she's not a flame. We don't have flames here in Ontario.
She's still my beauty queen though. I love her colouring!

flames have a bright red/orange stripe down both sides from the neck alll the way to the tail tip. Many of them, but not all, also have orange or red on their stomachs, as well as orange or red cheeks. Most have a white stripe, the flame I recently found has barely any stripe on its back and no orange on the face. nonetheless, a beautiful snake and a lucky find! Many eastern garters have orange in between their scales that often sticks out a little, and some pretty orange blushing, technically, not flames, but still gorgeous in their own rites. Like Chili!!!!

Don't worry, Kevin. If you ever see a flame in real life, you will immediately spot the difference! But I'm glad you're so taken by Chili. She is a special gal!

Kevin, here is my sweetest (looking, she's a biter) high red eastern, she has a white dorsal stripe, red sides but still lacks the punch of a true flame.





A Flame looks quite different....



Cheeto would almost have a better chance of qualifying as an Orange flame
