In New York State there are two species of garter snakes, the eastern or common garter snake, and the ribbon snake. Both are approximately a foot and a half to two feet in length and have the same prominent yellow strip running down the entire length of their back from the base of their head. Should the air drop into the low 40s, or upper 30s, the garter snake attempts to locate a spot where the temperature of the ground is significantly higher to warm up. They are harmless snakes and should never be harmed.
