| Double Trouble These two Garters - a Coast and an Aquatic intergrade were the first snakes caught that day.
Cool Coast
| Sometimes these snakes have a red and black checkerboard-like pattern. Click here to see another pic
Aquatic atratus
| These snakes are thought to be a three-way intergrade between Santa Cruz, Oregon and Diablo Range Garter Snakes. We dug the wide yellow stripe on the army green background. Click here to see another pic

Baby Coast
| We saw a fair number of 2011 offspring.
Big Coast
| This was the biggest snake we found that day.

Invasive Turtle
