Updates to Species and State Pages

The New Gartersnake.info
Updates, Every so often it becomes necessary to redesign this website from the ground up. The last time I did it was back in 2006. This redesign is only about a year overdue, as so many of my things are, but… »
A Note on Questions Answered Elsewhere
Updates, Occasionally I get a question through this site that is technically about garter snakes, but the answer covers a lot more ground than just garter snakes. Or they think it’s about garter snakes, but it isn’t. In such cases, I’ve… »
Nine New Species Pages
Updates, I’m working on a complete revamp of the Species Guide, which has been in a permanently unfinished state since this site went live nearly six years ago. I’m making an effort now to get that fixed, with completely new species… »

Another Redesign
Updates, I know it wasn’t all that long ago that I finished the last redesign, but I’m in the midst of redesigning the site again. It’s mostly finished in some ways, in that most pages are now on the new template,… »
