hey Alex,
He is about 5 to 6 inches long, i think
he's baby. He is light brown with black diamond shaped makes all over, his head is smaller than my little finger. and his eyes are round, not even slightly slanted. He has a white belly, if that helps, thanks!

: Hi Autumn. You are going to have to
: help us out here. I think you have a
: Garter or a Northern Water Snake, but I
: need more data. I need to know if it
: has any pattern, such as stripes,
: blotches, diamond like spots or
: whatever. Also what size? Estimate the
: size in inches.
: If you are going to keep it, put it in
: an aquarium with a tight fitting lid.
: Put newspaper, paper towels, or
: shredded pine bark on the bottom. Put
: in a water bowl. Try putting a few
: "feeder" gold fish in the
: water bowl (5 for $1.00 at most pet
: shops) and see if he eats them. Don't
: try to keep a Water Snake in water - it
: will get skin sores and die.
: If you tell us more, either Wayne or I
: will come up with a positive ID.
