Wandering Garter Snake (Thamnophis elegans vagrans)

In our area the Wandering Garter Snake likes to go “fishing” in and around the ocean. Can you spot this fellow in the left photo? They are very well camouflaged as evidenced by the right hand photo. At a low tide and the sunshine up to four of these fellows can be seen going over, under and around the rocks below our deck searching for prey or sunning themselves like my model is doing. I have also seen them in the ocean looking for food under the submerged rocks.
