Where are you located?

I even tried hacking into the URL, "forbidden" was the page I got.

Hi John, and welcome to the forum.:)
I'm afraid we are unable to view your photo as the URL is incomplete. If you try it again, I'm sure we can identify the snake for you.

Sorry about the bad link, http://www.geocities.com/botoru/snake1.jpg

John, I believe you have an Eastern Garter Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis.

[Veritech]

Thanks for the help, I have Rattlers & Copperheads floating around my yard, I thought I had something else to worry about

[enigma200316]

where do you live, it has the look of the T. brachystoma I have caught, on second thought maybe it is T.s.s........

[Zephyr]

I'm tempted to say radix but leaning towards sirtalis sirtalis.

[Stefan-A]

I'd be tempted to say T. radix, if it wasn't for the facial markings, or rather the lack thereof.

T. sirtalis sirtalis seems plausible.

[ssssnakeluvr]

I would say t s sirtalis....where was the snake found (that also helps with id!)

[Veritech]

I live in Northern New Jersey, I appreciate all your help, heres a pic of another yard visitor..

whoa...that was in your yard!

[ssssnakeluvr]

New Jersey eh??? then definitely an eastern...t s sirtalis. nice visitor!!!!

[jitami]

Yeah, I don't think I'd worry about the garter under the deck :) Now your other visitor... just watch your step, I guess...

[Veritech]

Yes, thats leading up to my yard. Thats just one of the two I need to watch out for. I'll know when I get to close to him but the Copper head is another story. Thanks Again All for the info .
