According to "The Garter Snake - Evolution and Ecology page 250, T. s. sackenii has 8 supralabials (upper-labials).

I count 9 supralabials on your snake.

Do you count the 1 on the end (the nose if you like)? Thanks

What are you feeding? Posting some close up photos of the face from the side will let us do a scale count. A good focused photo of the lateral will also be nice. The lateral stripe is on dorsal scale row 3 and 4. Supralabials 7 (rarely 8)

Thanks for the replies everyone and pet shop was feeding Lance fish I have now converted to scented pinky . So looks like he she is a ribbon i will try and get more better close up pictures . Thanks once again

They love fish. My two ribbons eat pinkies but their love is fish. Try silversides.

They obviously weren't feeding him enough fish >< Looks more like a coachwhip than a garter right now poor thing : / Throw some earthworms in here and there for a snack, he'll probably love em (make sure they are nightcrawlers and not red wigglers).
