    What am I?

    Looks Like Black Necked Garter Snake... but Kill me if i know id that is Western or Eastern Sub specie

    edit after Consulting With My Trusted book: Snake of United States and Canada.... look like we definitely have Eastern Black-necked Garter Snake (Thamnophis cyrtopsis ocellatus) here

    Re: What am I?

    That is a Texas Garter Snake.
    AKA Thamnophis sirtalis annectens.

    A sub-species of the Common Garter Snake.
    Edit: Okay I bow to experience then, it could be ocellatus. The Texas Garters can be variable in appearance a bit so didn't dig too deeply.

    I will Disagree

    This is definitely Eastern Black-necked Garter Snake (Thamnophis cyrtopsis ocellatus)

    Most definitely an Eastern black-necked. Texas garters have nowhere near the patterning on this little one.
