Re: Hit by mower
If you can post a photo, showing the vent and upper tail area, we can sex it for you.
A good first food would be nightcrawlers or fish, trout or salmon are good. I wouldn't offer a live mouse.

I am unfamiliar with the garter snake species. I found a website before I found this one with a photo that matches my snake listed as western garter snake. Here is a photo of mine (sorry, its not great...taken with my phone), maybe you guys can tell what it really is. |

Re: Hit by mower
Wow, what a beautiful snake.
 I can't help you with the ID, since I'm completely unfamiliar with the western species, but whatever it turns out to be, it's a keeper!

Re: Hit by mower
I live in South-Central Kansas. This snake was found in the yard, I havent seen one like this around here before, most of them are just green. I will have some better pictures to post probably tomorrow. I took some better head and body shots.

Re: Hit by mower
Wow! If that'a radix, and it would seem it most likely is.... I want a dozen just like it!
It does look like terrestris, but Kansas is well outside of their range, isn't it?
