Cool markings on a wild garter

[Tila]

Looks like the ones on the Eastern Shore of MD. If I saw something different I’d think the same.

Good luck finding some more.

Thanks! Where I am in Vermont seems to have some good variations in garter snake looks. Maybe they vary like this everywhere; I haven't really had the opportunity to search for snakes outside of Northern New England. I found a beautiful reduced pattern copper-coloured one years ago that I wasn't able to photograph which was disappointing. I'd have to say the greenish-blue checkered ones are my favourite.

Anyone else have a favourite colour or pattern variation for garters?
