    Say hello to...

    I say Goldie, my wife says Dot, we'll both be wrong if it's a male. So first off, what's the sex? I'm guessing female. Let's see if I'm getting any better at this.

    This is why my wife says Dot:

    This is why I say Goldie:

    I don't know if the pictures will truly represent how pretty this snake is because where I've seen the yellow stripe on snakes in my yard, and I've seen the orange stripes as well, this snake really looks like as it matures it's going to color up more gold in color than anything else. Maybe I'm wishful thinking... but she really does appear that way.

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

    As long as blood flow isn't compromised it should be OK. Looks like the tail was caught/pinched. The first photo shows it clearly.

    If you go with "Dot", you'll be obligated to get two more and call them "Yakko and Wakko".

    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

    Thank you Kat! The gold look of the snake is pretty cool, had she been male I was going to still play up the coloring as an influence and call him Knox. But Goldie it is.
