I found this guy at a local pet store. Can someone help me out with the subspecies?:confused:

hes got a nice light blue tint but you cant see it as well in the photos

I think it's a T. proximus proximus, but lets see what the ribbon experts say. :)

I think its a western ribbon

All nice photos. Thanks for sharing. I'll pass on guess the Ribbon, far from an expert on them.

[Snaky]

Very nice one's! The eastern really likes you :)

I would also say proximus proximus. But I'm also not an expert with ribbon snakes...

[Elliot]

Looks exactly like my western ribbons.:) Nice find.

[adamanteus]

T. proximus proximus gets my vote too.:)

[anji1971]

They are all very nice snakes! ID-ing is not my thing, I'll pass on that!:D

thanks everyone. i was looking at some pics in my audobahn reptile and amphibian field book and im pretty sure its a western as well. I used to think ribbons and garters were the same due to the sharing of the thamnophis family, but i can see now they have some diffrences.
