I'm sure you all get tons of these posts, but you have no idea how happy I am to have found an experienced garter group. The internet as a whole has been entirely unhelpful.
So far, I've used this site and have decided that it is, in fact, a garter, but I'd like to narrow down the species, if possible, to give this guy the best care possible. My little snake was found in Boulder County, in Colorado.

Re: Please help my ID this snake.
It looks like it could be a wandering garter snake, Thamnophis elegans vagrans.

Re: Please help my ID this snake.
Welcome and have fun here
For me it also looks like a wandering garter (vagrans). But it seems greenish colored, never seen it in these colors... Do you have some more pictures?Greetz, Hans

Re: Please help my ID this snake.
After checking to see what kinds are known to be found in Colorado I would say it is a Western Terrestrial. Here is a link to a photo of one.

Welcome dragon-fly!
TamiOh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
