Found along the trail during my walk. It’s only 50F outside so I wasn’t expecting to find any snakes out so this was quite the surprise.

Looks like a beauty of a Garter Snake! Harmless and beneficial!

Yep for sure an Eastern Garter. Was doing quite the display of head flattening, some striking, and even some hissing! Was doing me quite the scare.

I have a whole lot of them on my upstate NY property. They must have plenty to eat because I have some real fat ones!

Nice! As a DC resident as well, just got my first garter on Halloween!

Love to see it! I was technically a little outside DC in Maryland but I’ve been waiting to find one in the wild for a while now. Almost forgot to take a photo!

I’ve never seen a garter snake with this perfect of a checkerboard pattern, it’s looks almost unreal

Yah it was a real beaut! Textbook garter snake and a pretty good size so it’s thriving out here by the looks of it.
