So I have a brown/dekay snake not a garter. See I told you I know nothing about snakes. Thank you everyone for all your help. This site really has a great group of members - you are very knowledgable and quick to respond to all my questions. I would highly recommend this forum to everyone from the novice like myself to long-time garter enthusiasts. I guess now I'll have to try to find a brown/dekay snake forum to join
. I think we are going to keep it. I was able to find some basic info about the snake and a care sheet for keeping them online. It doen't seem like it will be too difficult. A lot of the setup is the same as for garters. Thanks again.
