Thamnophis atratus zaxanthus
There are mainly two types of Gartersnakes, Aquatic and Terrestrial. As you can see this one is diffinitively Aquatic. This maybe a young one as adult could be 18 to 24 inches in length. It seemed pretty small. They mainly feed on amphibian larvae, Sierran Treefrogs, small fish and leeches.
Mostly found near or in ponds
