I have seen so many pictures of garter snakes and they all look different....These pictures aren't all that great, but if anyone out there can help me to know what kind of garter my buddy "Gork" is I would love it.
Thank You,

Re: Help....What Garter do I have?
Yep....looks like a Xenochrophis vittatus or Striped Keelback....also sold as Inodnesian gartersnakes. There's quite a few members here who work with them, so you should be able to find some good care advice.

Dear me! Don't go accusing me of being an expert! I'll help where I can, but there are others on this forum far better qualified to deserve the title "expert". Originally Posted by GarterGirl
