    I'm guessing it's a female and have a suspicion she might be gravid. She looks thick for a ribbon but for some reason the neck area seem thick also. Any chance for some better photos?

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    I'm leaning towards Thamnophis proximus (Western Ribbon Snake) not sure or subspecies.

    I will take some better photos, she is currently hiding! How can you tell if she is gravid?

    Better photos and probably more important, TIME.
    I'm guessing she's wild caught. Would be a good idea to get a fecal float done as in the wild their food is usually heavy in parasites.

    If I were you I would contact the pet store and see if they will contact the breeder for an I.D. or any other background they can provide.
