Re: garter snake or not?
That's a great find! I totally trust what steve say's but if you want to make sure it's a garter it should have 7 shield scales on it's upper jaw. Oh and if you get bit and you don't live it's probably NOT a garter.
Great looking snake!

This would be the only snake your should worry about.

They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

Re: garter snake or not?
Awesome find! I love how much they vary in color. I have a red one and a brown one and a black and white one and 3 "normal"ones.
