What type of snake is this--Need Help
Hi,
I know absolutely nothing about snakes. I found this baby snake near a river in Toronto, Ontario Canada and thought it to be a Garter snake, but looking online it looks nothing like any of the Garter snakes pictured. It looks more like a Smooth Green Snake or possibly a Rough Green Snake, but is this possible to find this snake in Canada?
Please if anyone knows what type of snake this is let me know. I would like to keep it as a pet, but so far I cannot get it interested in any of the food I have put with it. I would like to know what I should be feeding it. It seems not to mind it being handled and seems friendly. I will try to add a picture for viewing.

I would love to help you out, but I know nothing of the fauna up there. I'm sure you will get some answers soon. It sure is a cute lil bugger, though!

oh, to answer your other question, try feeding it small soft bodied insects (like crickets).
Keep him/her in a small tank with branches, places to hide, keep at room temp 75 +/- a few degrees.
They dont do great in captivity, but if you get them young, they usually fare better.
nice find, those are getting pretty hard to find in some parts of their range.
