Wow!
I can´t find the words to explain you all how grateful I am for your words and your welcomes. Thank you for sharing!
I´m reading right now the care sheet, great tool, I feel very silly because I couldn´t find it before...
Now... could you believe that I asked in a pet store -they had a pair of gartner snakes in a tank- and they told me that I must fill in the tank with water and take care of the snake like a turtle?
Anyway, I´m so glad i´m here with you guys, I´m looking fordward to learn so much!
thanks again,
Liliana.
p.s. nightcrawlers? mmmh, No, I haven´t but I will try...
p.s. I do my best with my english, please excuse me if I´m not good enough!

Re: Hello, I´m new here!
If the pet store cares for their garter snakes like that, they will not live very long. Wet conditions cause blister disease, which is an infection of the skin. Garter snakes are often found in or near water but they are not water snakes. They need a dry enclosure but they also need access to clean water at all times. Humidity should be moderate, not high. Don't forget that they need an enclosure that is big enough so that you can provide a warm place on one end, (30-32 degrees C) while the rest of the enclosure is only about 21-23 degrees C. If they are kept too warm, or too cold, and do not have the ability to choose their temperature, they are vulnerable to respiratory infections, colds, pneumonia.

If your house is very warm, then you probably don't need hot lights.
Your English is good enough.

Welcome from Canada
That's a lovely snake. I know nothing about southern species, so I can't help ID. Looks kinda like T. pulchrilatus.

Re: Hello, I´m new here!
By golly that very well could be. That explains why it looks so different from most blacknecks I've seen.
"This species (T. pulchrilatus) was long confused with Thamnophis cyrtopsis, a species with which it shares a striking resemblance (and is clearly closely allied to)"
