I am from MI - pretty sure it is a Gardner snake. I have roughly five of them around my house just never had the right opportunity to get a group shot.
No problem Travis. Glad I could help. I need to figure out how to post slightly larger pictures though. So far I can only get the 512x384 size, which is just about the right size.
Here's a picture of my daughter's garter snake, Kalin. She didn't want to sit still for this picture and i kept having to move my hand around to get a good shot, such as it is.
She is very gentle and always wraps around your fingers and then starts checking everything out around her.
Magore, what kind of aloe plant is that? It looks like one I have in a large flower pot in my back yard. So far it's survived a couple nights (unprotected) with temps in the high 20°F to low 30°F range and about 2 weeks worth of nights down to the low 30°F to high 40°F range. It's one tuff hombre!
Nice garter there, looks like a Checkered, but im not 100% sure. How long is it? Whats it eating? When i had some, I never could get mine to be calm like yours lol, mine would musk on me and the works lol
She is about 20" long. I was leaning toward her being a wandering garter, but after looking at the checkered garter snake, I think you may be right.
So far we, my daughter and I, have fed it several earthworms and are thinking about trying fish filets and canned crickets to help round out her diet a bit. We have had her about a month and my daughter loves to hold and talk to her
About feeding of your garter. Don't feed it fish filets thats were frozen/thawed, etc. They lack vital nutrients. Try live fish is you want to get fishy. Canned crickets seemd to have failed with one of my herps (Bearded Dragon). If possible, try feeding the snake live or dead mice, for a snake your size, try a dead fuzzy or pinkie. Good luck-Zach
I'm rather surprised that you have problems getting your Bearded Dragons to eat canned crickets. My adult pair will eat them right out of my hand by the dozens! If you want to give them another try, I know that Phillip and Jeff are carrying ZooMed's Can-o-Crickets (I should...I get the crickets for them
do you leave that blacklight on your scorpion alot?? i hope not cause they will slowly die. the UV rays put out by the blacklight are like those put out by the sun and the sun is deadly to scorpions. its basically like humans and sun, if we are exposed to the sun or UV rays for too long, our skin and eyes get damages and eventually develope cancer. scorpions are the same way, but even more sensitive. ive had scorpions die because of blacklights. i no longer expose them under blacklights for amusement. i just thought id let ya know. well, have a great day larry and everyone else.

Alaska (with the exception of SouthEast) only has one amphibian and no reptiles... so here's the amphibian
It's a Wood Frog that was in my back yard this summer..
