Western terrestrial garter snake

Thamnophis elegans

Description:

About 3 feet long

Habitat:

My backyard and surrounding wild areas

Notes:

I adopted this one when I found out she was blind. I believe her to be between 8 and 12 years old though I'm not sure and she's still kicking. Well slithering
