My garter and set up

nope but it seems to happen alot.... i'd def. go get him tested for worms.... many of them die soon after being bought......

Well, you've come to the right place for help. Best of luck.

Just to emphasize something Stefan already said..... these snakes are always wild caught and carry morbid parasite loads. Vetenary care will almosat certainly be needed to clear these parasites from your new Xenochrophis.

They are such a pretty snake
If you keep it I wish you the best of luck!

Is there any way that it could be a northern ribbon snake? I have to look up a vet that deals with herps as the one I went to for my leo has moved

In a word, no. I'm sorry, it is definitely a striped keelback.

[Snake lover 3-25]

yup and a very pretty one at that

No reason to be sorry. I dont mind that it's not a garter. I was just asking as they look the same to my untrained eye

Welcome
Great looking snake. Very similar care to a Garter. Good advice on the stool sample, ASAP. Take good care of that Keelback. It's come a long away in need of a good home. Hope to get a couple someday, just for that reason. They need someone to care.

yeah they are quite similar but ribons and garters don't have that beautiful striped belly
