Thamnophis sirtalis pallidulus

Also known as Maritime Garter Snake

Maritime garter snakes are subtle, grayish or brownish reptiles known for having faint or incomplete dorsal stripes compared to other garter snake subspecies. They inhabit damp forests, meadows, stream margins, and coastal zones across eastern Canada and northern New England. Active during the day, these adaptable hunters rely on cryptic coloration as they stalk earthworms, amphibians, and small fish along freshwater edges.
