Scotti Garter Snake

About: Thamnophis eques scotti, more commonly known as Scott's Mexican Garter Snake, is a species that is rarely found in reptile collections. These snakes are known for their large size and robust nature, with adult females reaching impressive lengths of 40+ inches. They display a striking array of light colors, including shades of yellow, light brown, and pale green.
