Re: Unusual Garter Snake Morph
I found him in Easter Washington. So there are a few suspects.
Interestingly there's a small colony in my backyard that live in a rock pile. I suppose some in there might be het for whatever this is.

Yeah I can't make the imbed feature work. Maybe it's that hosting service or something?

Not sure. I don't think northwestern garters (T. ordinoides) are present in eastern Washington. My guess would be T. elegans or T. sirtalis. Do you mind if I share your pictures in a different group for opinions?

Re: Unusual Garter Snake Morph
Asked a few folks and consensus is Wandering Garter (T. elegans vagrans)

The smallish head and slightly smaller eyes point to the Northwestern Garter snake.
I observed many when I was in the northwest and they can be very variable in color (even grey with white stripe) but I have never seen one so light.
Thanks for sharing that neat find.
