Hey Roy,

I got her as a gift from an american friend last year. She is a wildcaught snake and I do not exactly know where it´s from. But my friend lives up in the north east of the US.

The snake is only 50 cm of lenght and sinc I got her she doesn´t grow anymore. Extremly uncommon for a normal eastern garter. The color pattern is uncommon too for a eastern garter but more common for the maritime garter.

I´ve never seen a T. s. pallidulus befor so I´m not sure in identifying this snake too.

Best wishes,

Daniel
