We got this snake from a friend that could not longer take care of it. I was told it is a garter snake, but it dose not look like any pic's I have seen. If it is a garter, I would like to know what kind it is. I know there are many different kinds. I would also like to know if anyone can tell me how old this snake may be, and if it is big enough to eat pinkie mice. It is about 11 inches long. We live in east Tennessee and this is were this snake was found. I don't know if that helps or not. Thanks
