Welcome aboard, that looks like a Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis, the "common" eastern garter snake.

Nice to have you on the forum. Good looking stubby tail Eastern.
Some of that gravid look might just be defensive posture.
Here's a link to the forum care sheet. Feel free to post any questions that it doesn't answer.

Don't feel so bad, I haven't come across any snakes either, just snake sized nightcrawlers. Originally Posted by EasternGirl
