Hello all. My daughter actually got me into snakes. So I've had to learn all I can to make sure her snake gets all the best care. She recently picked out a year old Coral Motley Snow Corn at a local reptile expo. The family has fallen in love, she's darling. I'm still learning a lot but I'm glad to have a community to glean knowledge from.
Last weekend while visiting a friend her children were out catching garter snakes and had a bucket full very quickly. Needless to say they weren't being the best snake handlers. So I started talking to them about snake care and informed them that snakes have value. After a bit I asked them if I could buy one from them. After we agreed on a price and with more talking they decided to let all the rest go because they didn't have the things needed to care for them. They were over the moon about the sale and learned how to be gentle and handle them with care.
Now I have a baby snake. I have had luck with guppy feeders and they snake is very tame and inquisitive. The only problem I am having is identifing the snake. I thought it was a common garter, but after many internet searches I cannot seem to find one colored or patterned like this one. I'm beginning to think it is a lined snake. Any help would be appreciated.
