    Re: Identify

    Hi Justin, I'm afraid I can't even see a snake in the photo, let alone identify! You could post a photo straight into the thread by following these instructions...

    Welcome aboard, Justin. I'm afraid you're going to have to post a better picture.

    What species are there in Pennsylvania? Sirtalis, brachystoma and sauritus? Sauritus has a pretty distinctive look (compared to the other two) and should be easy to rule out.

    Yeah, that's right Stefan. This link might help people who are a little unsure about Garter Snake distribution...

    snakefinder

    Chances are it will be T. s. sirtalis, but a decent photo would confirm that. Oh, I found the snake in the pic now, I just needed my specs on!

    Justin, Your first few posts go into a queue for 'moderation' before they appear on the open forum (hence the delay). The photo upload button will appear once you have posted about 4 times....it's just a precaution to prevent spammers from posting porn etc.

    I think I found a pic on here that looks a lot alike the snake
    i'm talking about, it said it was a stonyloam I think.....I live
    in NW, Pennsylvannia about 2 hours from Ohio so maybe you could tell me if there in this part of the state.....I'm very new to this, I once had a
    RedTail Boa and a Royal Python, but sadly had to get rid of them years ago..........thanks,

    Stonyloam is Terry! One of our members! Most of Stonyloams snakes are Maritime Garters Thamnophis sirtalis pallidulus. I think it most likely you have an Eastern Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis.

    True, but the scientific names are the same all over the world. Just chose your snake's latin name.
