What Sub species is this??

[Stefan-A]

Thanks for the welcome guys and keep the comments coming. I've got a thread up on cornsnakes also. Some seem to think its a ribbon others are saying garter, so I'm still trying to figure it out.

The ones that say it's a ribbon, are quite frankly wrong. Ribbons have a few distinguishing features, that aren't present in this one. It is definitely a Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis, which is the scientific name of the eastern garter snake.
