    Is this a real snake?

    A friend posted this on Facebook and it says it's a California Red Sided Garter Snake. There are a lot of variations of this snake on Google, but this is the only picture that shows one this color.

    Re: Is this a real snake?

    Yup. They're real. We have many different kinds and subspecies of garters here. And different looks for certain locations.

    Check out the one from Sonoma Country. Looks identical to the one pictured.

    The SF garters look slightly different.

    They look relatively the same, but they have the horizontal striping pattern.
    And the other one is more checkered.

    I spent about 6 months in Petaluma back in the early 90's...wish I would have gotten in San Fran more, but alas, I was without a car at the time...
