Thamnophis sirtalis
Common garter snake. Got pretty friendly with me
Open grassy area
These snakes played a large part in my childhood. Most summer days were spend chasing them around the yard catching them and letting them play between my fingers. I've been bitten more than id like to admit by them.

Very nice series; the portrait in the first photo is excellent.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections.
