​W​e ​collected ​ddRADseq data using the Peterson et al. 2012 (see Methodology for full citation) protocol to study the population structure and genetic diversity of two threatened species of gartersnakes inhabiting the lower Colorado River Basin in the United States: Mogollon Narrow-headed gartersnake (Thamnophis rufipunctatus) and Northern Mexican gartersnake (T. eques megalops). ​Data were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 and 4000 to generate 50 base pair sequence reads and stored as fastq files. ​ Data were submitted to NCBI in an approved format for their database. Data are stored in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive in fastq file format and can be found at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/SRP144044 These data support the following publication: Wood, D.A., Emmons, I.D., Nowak, E.M., Christman, B.L., Holycross, A.T., Jennings, R.D., and Vandergast, A.G., 2018, Conservation genomics of the Mogollon Narrow-headed gartersnake (Thamnophis rufipunctatus) and Northern Mexican gartersnake (T. eques megalops): U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report XXXXXXXXX
