California red-sided garter snake The California red-sided garter snake ("Thamnophis sirtalis" infernalis) is a subspecies of the common garter snake. This slender species of natricine snake is indigenous to North America and is one of three recognized subspecies of "Thamnophis sirtalis" found in California. While commonly confused with "Thamnophis sirtalis" the subspecies "Thamnophis sirtalis" "infernalis" is biologically part of the population of T.s. Tetrataenia, as pointed out by Boundy and Rossman (1995), but was preserved as T.s. infernalis as a neotype under ICZN code Article 75 in a 2000 decision by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) in 2000 in order to preserve the existing subspecies taxonomy.
