ID this snake

Glad they went to a good home. She will find lots of help and support here.

Good looking female. Needs to put on a little weight though.
Love to see an under the tail photo to confirm the sex.

Feeding on canned tuna?

Where was the ad?

It was in a FB reptile group, the OP was from Florida.

Yes, I realize that, but did the snake get into the "right" hands is the question.

Canned tuna shouldn't be the staple diet for any garter, raw tuna fillet pieces would be better. Try getting him to go on earthworms, pretty hard to go wrong with earthworms.

Not necessarily. Cooking fish helps to remove some of the mercury. Tuna fillet is rather expensive and is much higher in mercury than say, farmed tilapia. I would be concerned about the heavy metals content of raw tuna fillet.

Tuna is on the list of fish with Thiaminase. From postings about that, I would suspect we should never feed our snakes tuna. Here is the link: Thiaminase

Unless the canned tuna explicitly says "no salt added", it's far too salty for a garter.

That looks exactly like my little concinnus, Bella. Glad you responded to the stupid posts and glad that the little one found a home. I hope to see the owner here on our forum.
