78 | San Francisco Gartersnakes with Dr. Halstead

Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. Brian Halstead to discuss one of
the most beautiful snakes on the planet. Brian is a researcher
with the United States Geological Survey in California where he
works on multiple species of gartersnakes. They talk about San
Francisco Gartersnake natural history covering a range of topics
including movement, habitat, reproduction, diet and much more.
They also talk about their status, threats, and the research and
conservation projects being used to recover the species. Finally,
they spend some time discussing another California Gartersnake,
the Giant Gartersnake, discussing their interesting connection to
hydrology and the related efforts to recover the species.
