Field Notes

Description:

Garter snakes are hard to describe since there are so many variations across their geographic range. In this area, they are long and slender and tend to have yellow and black stripes running the length of their bodies.

Habitat:

Often found in the vicinity of water, but I've found them in upland areas at considerable distances from the nearest water body.
