We seem to have quite a few Hognose around my place, I am located about 1/2 mile off the shores of Lake MI and it's fairly sandy, scrub type terrain which the Toads love and where there are Toads there are Hognose. Last year I caught two gorgeous Hog's one was almost a yellow on cream pattern and the other was an orange on tan.
We see a few Garter's as well but it needs to be in areas of a bit more grass, moist creak bottoms.

Friend of mine once kept a 10" western hognose for a month...fed it a 6" tiger salamander and found out he had a hog sized appetite!
Garter (or gardener as the locals around here insist on calling them) are pretty dull colored. Where I came from in North Dakota the light colored stripes down the side were electric yellow! I once saw one swimming underwater catching minnows and thought I was dreaming it up.

No way, those tiger Salamanders are so cool! I raised a few in college when I worked at a Pet Store.
I caught one Garter here last year and it's stripes were pretty yellow as well plus it had some bright red "check" marks in the pattern that were a real knock out. My German Shorthair likes to "point" snakes so we find any around the house fairly quickly ;D
Bevan R.:
Found a really nice one here at my new place last summer. Looked it up on the net cause I had never seen one like it. Net said it was a scarlet sided one. It had gotten trapped in the trench I was digging for the electrical feed for the shop. finally got it into a bucket and turned it loose in the bushes. Wish I had taken a picture of it. Maybe this summer.
