Back In Black
It only took a few minutes to find my quarry. Click here to see another photo of this snake 
Standard Striped
| The following day I found this "standard" looking Eastern Garter, though its dorsal stripe was quite narrow and its reddish-orange eyes were pretty cool. Click here to see another photo of this snake 
Home Sweet Home
| Here's a photo of one of the habitats where I was finding Eastern Garter Snakes. 
View from a Bridge
| The place where I was at has boardwalks and bridges that went over marshy areas. Looking off the side of a bridge, I saw this: A Northern Water Snake. It turned out to be the only non-garter snake found on the trip. Click here to see another photo of this snake 
Not Just Snakes
| There were other herps, too - like Bullfrogs, Green Frogs, Leopard frogs and Painted Turtles. 
Seeing Spots
| This little garter didn't have the best disposition, but I liked its spotted pattern. Click here to see another photo of this snake 
Snake in the Grass
| A second black garter "as found." Click here to see another photo of this snake 
In a Tree
| Perhaps the most interesting Garter Snake behavior that was observed was this one spotted off the side of a boardwalk, 4 feet up in a tree. 
Closing Shot
| It was a pretty good time, if you like Garter Snakes (which I do)! |
