This was a “youngster.” About a foot long.

Definitely a dream come true and the best moment of my herping career so far. I wasn’t the lucky one to find either of these amazing snakes but I was lucky enough to be there for it

Seen swimming in deep creek.

It looks like the most common garter snake in the area is the two-striped garter snake. It was a juvenile; I'd say it was a foot or so long.

It always makes me feel terrible to find a deceased creature on the trail, but maybe even worse when it appears to have met its demise for a reason other than consumption.

Observed on the crawl. 52 F in heavy winter rain. Probably flushed out of hiding.
