Hey guys and gals!

I recently found this guy in my yard and was just curious if anyone would be able to tell me the type of species the snake is? We don't get many snakes where I am (actually, this is the second in 19 years!). I was mainly curious as if it were a garter snake or another type of snake.

I do believe it is living under my Central Air condenser and actually, I think there may be more than one. I'm mainly concerned if the snake is poisonous or if it's safe, as my niece and nephew are often playing out in our yard.



Any help is appreciated!
