Welcome to the forum.

Nice looking T.radix. She's a beauty. The size of that head and body girth makes me believe you've got a female there. If you can post a photo of the under side of the tail we can let you know for sure. Here's a link to let you know the kind of photo to post:http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/breeding/5069-sexing-pics.html
T.radix is my favorite garter snake. They seem to live very well with people.
Careful, before you know it you'll have more.
How long have you had her?

Looking at the sexing pics it looks like a male, but will get photos up once i have someone to help me since itts very hard to get a photo with just me.

I've had him for 3 months, and heis the most entertaining thing to feed, he'll grab the food been offered without hesitation and devour it quickly.

What a great testament to garter snakes.
They do have a magic. Missed by so many people and many of those people are snake people.
We all are very fortunate to be working with such a wonderful animals.
