Re: Identify
Hi Justin, I'm afraid I can't even see a snake in the photo, let alone identify! You could post a photo straight into the thread by following these instructions...

Re: Identify
Welcome aboard, Justin.
 I'm afraid you're going to have to post a better picture.What species are there in Pennsylvania? Sirtalis, brachystoma and sauritus? Sauritus has a pretty distinctive look (compared to the other two) and should be easy to rule out.

Re: Identify
Yeah, that's right Stefan. This link might help people who are a little unsure about Garter Snake distribution...
snakefinder Chances are it will be T. s. sirtalis, but a decent photo would confirm that. Oh, I found the snake in the pic now, I just needed my specs on!

Re: Identify
Justin, Your first few posts go into a queue for 'moderation' before they appear on the open forum (hence the delay). The photo upload button will appear once you have posted about 4 times....it's just a precaution to prevent spammers from posting porn etc.

Re: Identify
ok thanks as soon as i'm able I'll post pics then.......
I think I found a pic on here that looks a lot alike the snake i'm talking about, it said it was a stonyloam I think.....I live in NW, Pennsylvannia about 2 hours from Ohio so maybe you could tell me if there in this part of the state.....I'm very new to this, I once had a RedTail Boa and a Royal Python, but sadly had to get rid of them years ago..........thanks, |

 Most of Stonyloams snakes are Maritime Garters Thamnophis sirtalis pallidulus. I think it most likely you have an Eastern Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis.
