12-15 inch young garter snake with beautiful markings (short video included)

Short video included - The snake was on top of pond netting that protected a Cecropia Moth Cocoon. If you look at the video, the snake gets away without getting tangled.

I haven't gotten a lot of snakes so I was glad for a video to go along with the photos. Thanks! It was a beautiful garter.
amazing!
Wow, it sure is quick!
It is gorgeous, Carol. And great that it didn't get caught in the netting.
The most beautiful markings of any snake I have seen so far.
What a beauty!
Thank you! The photo here is so small, but it had gorgeous markings, yes! Thank you for your support, Harsuame.
Yay! Great spotting Carol!
