Help ID a mystery garter

[Stefan-A]

It was an animal care student's assignment to make care sheets for a bunch of species and this person needed these animals identified.

Thanks.

[Stefan-A]

By "these animals", I was referring to this radix and a proximus that was relatively easy to ID.

Here is another puzzle!

[Stefan-A]

T. s. infernalis or T. s. dorsalis?

[ConcinusMan]

Yeah, looks like it's supposed to be infernalis.

[ssssnakeluvr]

infernalis would be my closest guess

[kibakiba]

I thought infernalis when I saw it. Pretty little snakes.

[ConcinusMan]

The only time I've ever seen them in person was in the wild, and they were anything but little. Little monstrosities perhaps.

[kibakiba]

Oh I know they're somewhat big... But... They are little compared to me. I wouldn't mind having one, even if it was a hissy and pissy one that never liked me. I could put a sign in my yard that said "attack snake" and any person that dared come on our property gets my little monster set loose on them.... We have a no trespassing sign, but people always ignore it. It gets annoying after a while.
