Wildlife Spotting

According to the documentation I found at (http://www.adventure-life.com/galapagos/galapagos-wildlife/galapagos-reptiles.php), the only striped snake on Santa Cruz is the non-venomous Striped Galapagos Snake. The Banded Galapagos Snake is endemic to Pinzon, Isabela, and Fernandina. I did see a striped snake over by dorm #14, and it very much did have the appearance of some of the garter snakes we have in the United States. Cheers!

That's a garter snake I think

Congratulations on this spotting, James! Wherever feral cats roam, Galapagos snakes are very vulnerable. It's great to know that around the CDF they are doing ok. - The miky eye of this snake (if that is what it is) may indicate that it is about to shed its skin. Maybe that is why she went for cover?
