California Red-sided Garter Snake

Thamnophis sirtalis ssp. infernalis

Summary 4

Red-sided Garter Snake is very closely related to the San Francisco Garter Snake and looks very similar, but it always has a checkered pattern along its back. Unlike the Terrestrial Garter Snake, which can also have red coloration, Red-sided Garter Snake always has a red head. These snakes are predominantly coastal and are usually found near freshwater wetlands.
