akroorka Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 The first two are Vitro machine made marbles imho. The second one is a German handmade that eludes a description from me. @Chad G. will know more about this one for sure. So metal detecting, snake hunting, marble finding--you are very busy. I love all sorts of this stuff. No Getula in my area though--Bigger snakes are rare but cool in my area, mostly Garter snakes which I love to see in the yard. Size always matters. Marble--On!!

GetulaHunter Posted October 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Thamnophis was my first love. They were the easiest to catch along with the most prolific that I would encounter. There are 8 Species of Thamnophis here in California with many species having multiple subspecies of which I have found them all except hamondii and not that hamondii is hard to find I have jus not spent much time in that area. Corresponding name is bellow each snake Thamnophis s. tetrataenia San Francisco Gartersnake Thamnophis elegans terrestris Coast Gartersnake Thamnophis atratus atratus Santa Cruz Gartersnake Thamnophis sirtalis fitch Valley Gartersnake s. fitchi s. fitchi Thamnophis couchii Sierra Gartersnake Thamnophis couchii Thamnophis gigas Giant Gartersnake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garter snakes in Wisconsin may get to 3 feet or so. There used to be “Corn snakes” that got much bigger but I have not seen one of those for 25-30years. Nice images! Here is one from my vegetable garden in the back yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
