Plains Garter Snake (Colubridae: Thamnophis radix) Scale Pattern


Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

In this species (T. radix) the lateral stripe is confined to scale rows 3 and 4, whereas is T. sirtalis, another local species of garter snake, the lateral stripe is confined to rows 2 and 3. Photographed at Turtle River State Park, North Dakota (26 June 2009). " I saw a young snake glide / out of the molted shale / And hang, limp on a stone: / A thin mouth, and a tongue / Stayed, in the still air. / It turned: it drew away; / It's shadow bent in half : / It quickened, and was gone. / I felt my slow blood warm. / I longed to be that thing, / the pure, sensuous form. / And I maybe, some time." --Theodore Roethke
