Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis, 10 June 2020
Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis, the Eastern garter snake;
Volusia county, Florida (10 June 2020).
Garter snakes vary enormously across their North American range. In my region of Florida (Northeast central), they tend to sport a fantastic and fabulous blue-green base tone. I may admire the reds of the Pacific Northwest and the yellows of the Great Plains, but, my oh my, I do love the blue-green garters of Volusia and Flagler, Florida!
