Field Notes
Description:
From the info on this Va. herp site below, is saying this is a Garter Snake... This set of images shows the difference between a Ribbon and a Garter Snake being the dark vertical lines on the margins of the supralabial scales being absent on a Ribbonsnake and present on a Gartersnake.. According to this site, there are no ribbon snakes in my area (Washington Co. Virginia)....http://www.virginiaherpetologicalsociety.com/reptiles/snakes/common-rib…
Habitat:
Found in the grass under a treehouse at the edge of the woods.
Notes:
NOTICE: look close at the spider web running to it's head.
