TripleT the snake in that second vid reminds me of the garters we had in the Willamette valley in Oregon. We called them "Yellow Racers" when I was growing up and would catch them all the time. They had the same striping like that.

I see Garters like the second one often, in the north Seattle area. It's really too bad that it's illegal to keep them, I found a '10 hatchling just the other day, I would hav eloved to keep.
But instead, I took a few pics & released her.

Looks similar to our Western Ribbon Snake, down here.

Ya probably something common, just odd cause there aren't any other kinds of snakes in that area...and if there were wouldn't they be eaten ? that exact spot is loaded with known snake eaters.

the law is actually stated that you are able to 'hunt' and keep garter snakes if you have a game license (hunting).
now... no one is really there to care or inforce people about the keeping of garter snakes. More of a shrug of the shoulders.

Cool! I never take videos when I go out hunting snakes, I think I'll start.
That second one must be a ribbon snake of some kind. I guess it depends on locality, like Eric said, looks like their western ribbons and others.
Here we have eastern ribbon snakes, thamnophis sauritus sauritus.

I'm starting to think it's a Thamnophis sirtalis pickeringi(i) Puget Sound Garter.

I'm not sure what the garters around here are called... but here are some pics!

This little guy was blue so I didn't disturb him/her.



All I have is a ventral shot of this guy. Or girl.
