Mondays with Martha #173 - Butler's vs. Eastern Garter Snakes

This week I showcase a fun field trip I attended as part of the Michigan Wetlands Association Conference and share how to tell the difference between the state special concern Butler's Garter Snake and more commonly encountered Eastern Garter Snake. Special thanks to David Mifsud, Autumn Baker, and the entire Herpetological Resource & Management team for sharing your expertise and great photos and for providing a special field-based learning experience! 

As promised some helpful resources for continued learning & reporting:
