Fascinating.

Could you post some links so I can better my knowledge of gartner snakes? You know, care sheets, general info, etc..........

While I find a way to post on several forums a week, I often have problems using Google to get good info on things..........

It looks like a smooth green snake I have never seen a garter that colour before. Are you sure?

In order to properly care for something, you need to first correctly identify what it is.

Have you identified it correctly? More importantly, have you figured out how to care for it?

Good enough.

Most people refer to any snake without a rattle as a "garden" snake, and any snake within a mile of water as "water snake"


I love those snakes, I have two rough greens and they are awesome. Thanks for taking the time to post those pics.
