Help!!

can't quite tell species from the pics....need full body shots with no obstructions. also, if you just caught it, it needs a week or two to adjust of captivity.

Kinda hard to get a great picture, I don't know how to use my mom's camera, and mine is sucky.... So, thats the best I can give you now, sorry. Late response too, and again, thank you guys for helping me, I'm really glad I found this, I don't know where I'd be. Drowning in worry probably, Well Tankie again.

Just another thing in addition to everyone elses helpful suggestions... This is what I did (I am pretty new to this too) wait a week then get a live pinkie (baby mouse) and a goldfish from the pet store. Rub the live goldfish all over the pinkie then set aside. Put the snake in another seperate container with lid for feeding, so they don't think your hand is food when you reach in... I always seperate my snakes from there home when I feed them. Then add the scented pinkie in there. I bet he will like it... I didn't have any problems with my garter eating this right up. But I did have to wait a bit for him to settle in before he would eat.

Welcome and good luck! Keep us posted.

Nice looking Garter. Were in the US was it caught? That will narrow which species it could be down dramatically. Welcome to the forum.

Oh, I never thought of that, that sounds good, thanks! Umm I caught it in Humboldt County, and I think its a Northwestern Garter snake.
