    Re: please help me identify my garter snake

    There are different subspecies of proximus. It definitely looks like a T. proximus orarius, like Greg said. Google "thamnophis proximus orarius" and look at the images. A lot of them look exactly like your snake.

    I read somewhere that platties were bad for garters... I don't remember where, though.
    I'd feed her 4 every other day or more. She does look skinny.

    at first I gave him guppies but I started a kennel of platty recently. I inquired about
    several forums and none said it was harmful (if you find where we would speak well). I'll put pictures in more detail at its head.

    thank you again on the incentive that you wear on
