Hi everyone! Just registered today, thought I'd introduce myself and my garter. I'm Tom from Eastern PA, a student at Penn State, and currently living in NJ for a co-op. I currently only have one snake, an Eastern Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis). He's an awesome little bugger, extremely easy handling, and one of the most docile snakes I've ever dealt with. He's around 12" and doesn't have any crazy markings or colors, but I don't judge a snake by it's cover.
Here's some pics of the little guy:

Re: Hello from the East Coast!
Thanks everyone! No, he doesn't have a name yet. I was thinking "Salisbury Snake" but that's just too much of a mouthful. Naming a new pet is always the most difficult part for me. I'm just really happy right now because I've had him since Sunday, but he finally had his first meal last night! It was just a few bits of earthworm cut into small sections, but it's just a relief to know that their won't be any feeding problems. Anyways, I'm glad I've found this forum and thank you all for the warm welcome.
