Very nice looking snake

Wow. Awesome! Solid black with that yellow stripe! WHat kinda snake?

It looks like a Puget sound garter. Or a no-side-striped northwestern. The face looks more puget-y though. Northwesterns rarely have such bold facial features.

[RedSidedSPR]

Those were my guesses too.

From what i've seen online and what everyone has said on the forum she's puget sound.

Correct. "Toothless" is certainly is a puget sound garter.(T. sirtalis pickeringi) I've never seen them represented with quite the same colors as yours and I've never seen them without lateral stripes. They're quite variable by locality so it's not too surprising.

Thought I would use this opportunity to once again drive home the fact that pugets are mostly not the brilliant sky-blue snakes that many people seem to think that they are. The very blue ones are simply a locality-specific morph and are a minority among all puget sound garters.

I've seen many examples but never any from your corner of the Puget Sound. Nice to see something different.
