    Need Identification for this snake!

    My boyfriend picked up this wild caught snake in 2008 at Maconaquah Park
    Peru, Indiana in Miami County. She was found in a wooded area.
    The snake has to be either an odd colored eastern ribbon snake, some species of garter snake, or a northern brown snake with no neck band.
    These photos are of the snake DECEASED. They are not graphic in any way but just a warning.
    She died recently and we would like to know if anyone can identify her for us.
    Thanks for any help!

    Re: Need Identification for this snake!

    I was going to say something earlier, but did not want to yap with no real morphological knowledge.

    Just looks like a garter to me, especially with the bit of red in its side.

    Hopefully, someone can give you something more concrete.

    Yay! ok great! thanks guys!
    Poor girl will greatly be missed.
    He had her converted to rodents within a few weeks and she ate like a champ. She escaped from her enclosure and we found her and she died just weeks after. Were not sure what happened.
    So is there a name for her color? do garters have morphs?

    Edit: Garters do have morphs and subspecies, but what you have right there is a plain jane eastern garter.
