Eastern Ribbon Snake (Thamnophis septentrionalis)
French Name: Couleuvre mince

Subspecies: The Northern Ribbon Snake, T. s. septentrionalis, is the one found in Canada; couleuvre mince du nord could be used to refer to it.

Usage: Couleuvre mince could equally refer to the Western Ribbon Snake, Thamnophis proximus; differentiation would be problematic in some contexts.
