    Re: please help me identify my garter snake

    thank you I have already taken a vet appointment for a preventive treatment against internal parasites. I think my garter snake is not a Proximus Because it has seven scales above the mouth while Thamnophis proximus eight scales above the mouth . I'll take pictures of his head to better identify it. I do not know if it is clearly visible in the photos but already put his bands are colored green and blue all over my body at some points there are blue-green scales. I have to treat stomatitis and indeed it has marks of injuries on his body a few scales.

    thank you for your help. I fed four platty every four or five days (should I increase the quantity?)

    cordially
