Thamnophis sirtalis
I believe no one argues that the Eastern Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) is the most common snake in West Virginia. At least if they do, I've got a post for them. These all are from 2009.
Mountain Top One:
Mountain Range Two:
Mountain Range Three:
(in-situ)
Mountain Range Four:
Mountain Range Five (my favorite specimen, only one captured at this location.)
Bonus: Individual from OH, just over the river from WV.
Though the most common snake in WV, this species is quite variable. From range to range and individual to individual variation is high.
