Thamnophis in Europe?

[GarterGeek]

I was recently trying to glean some perspective on the different species and subspecies of Thamnophis. I've learned that there are 13 different species and 40 subspecies native to North America. However; I haven't been able to find anything about Thamnophis native to Europe.
Does anybody have any basic information? The names of a couple garters would be really nice.

By the way, are garters found in any of the other continents: Africa, Australia...Asia? I've tried to google it but have always come up empty.

Any and all information is appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you! - That really helped.

I feel really sorry for all the other people, who can't experience these cute, little snakes. I can't imagine another species serving as an adequate substitute. It's such a tragedy!!!

In Europe we have Natrix, which is also very fun to observe. They are also fish/amphibian eaters and you can keep them in the same way as Thamnophis

Indeed. Natrix are similar in many ways to Thamnophis and Nerodia, sort of the European equivalent! Nice snakes.
