    Name this snake

    My daughter's cat brought home this snake for her :) Does anyone know what kind of snake it is?

    I agree- looks like a common garter snake. Not harmful, good bug eater, not particularly aggressive, though I have had a few try repeatedly to bite me when I held them, but their tiny teeth just bounce off. They can make decent pets once they get tame and used to being handled, but expect a few odorous discharges at first.

    I always wanted a pet snake, but my mother told my father that if he got one she'd move out. She hates snakes, apparently her brothers used to throw them at her or something.
