Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis
Dark green snake with three yellow bands, and sparse white speckling. Individuals can vary greatly.
The Common Garter Snake has a huge range spanning across most of North America. These snakes prefer woodland habitat, but in some populations wetland areas are more commonly used by Garter Snakes for habitat.
This snake was spotted sunning itself on the pavement near the park office. This is an excellent example of why great care should be taken when driving through the campground.
