Thamnophis atratus atratus The local species of Aquatic Garter Snake may not be as pretty as some of the other garter snake species (SF garters, some coast garters) found nearby, but I actually thing the solid, clean, single stripe is a good look. Always enjoy seeing these snakes, just beware of the musk! Santa Cruz Mountains, California
Strix nebulosa Humboldt Co., California
Dicamptodon ensatus Santa Cruz Mountains, California
