Hi Eduardo and Anker! Welcome to the forum!
However I think Anker is actually a ribbon snake rather than a garter, T. sauritus sackenii I'd say. I had one that looked just like yours.

Greetings .... although I have to say that, considering the location and the large parietal spots, that is a T.proximus probably rutiloris or diabolicus from what I could find to compare.
Could you get us some good photos of the head and close up body shots?

Bienvenido al foro!

Thank you for the picture of Anker!

I'm leaning toward Diabolicus

It's definitely a ribbon snake. My guess is a peninsula ribbon. (T. sauritus sackenii)
But what do I know?
