thamnophis Explanation: This is what I found in Termium under «garter snake», which I think is the term you want, not «barter snake»: garter snake*a*CORRECT DEF*Any of a genus of harmless, usually striped snakes closely related to water snakes...They are probably called "garter snakes" because they resemble striped garters... There are 15 species of garter snakes, making up the genus Thamnophis of the family Colubridae, order Squamata. The common garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) is one of the commonest of all snakes throughout its range, which extends from Canada to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean... FR thamnophis*b*CORRECT, MASC DEF*Serpent d'Amérique du Nord, non venimeux, vivipare incubant, présent en plaine comme en montagne, du Mexique à l'Alaska, se nourrissant de vers de terre et d'amphibiens.*b OBS*Genre thamnophis; famille des colubridés Reference: http://www.termium.com |

Couleuvre rayée Explanation: Il semble y avoir une erreur dans le terme anglais. Il s'agit probablement de "garter snake" et non pas "barter snake". La couleuvre rayee (common garter snake ,nom latin: Thamnophis sirtalis), est la plus commune, et est le plus souvent rayee jaune et noire, malgre qu'il y a aussi d'autres couleurs. C'est celle que je vois souvent dans mon jardin en ete. Pour en voir des photos et descriptions, consultez les sites web ci-bas.
