It looked very much like the one in the picture of a Common Garter snake. Isn't is very late in the season for a snake to be moving about. It had better find a warm place as the weather is about to become very cold.

When we evidently surprised him, he was all mouth ready to strike, scared us enough. I thought garder snakes were all green and skinny. We find lots of them. What are they?

Can someone help me identify this snake on the hole in the wall next to my AC? It looked like foot and half long and less than an inch diameter. I live at South Charlotte.

He seemed harmless and has the round head, so of course, I didn't shoot it, but I'm was really glad to find your picture because he is exactly like the one I have so thank you for giving me peace of mind.

The snake is a gardersnake. The snake can get in an area that can not be reached. This is the paddox that I keep my puppies in to play. How can I get rid of the snake? What do you do with them after they are caught? I am not going to try and catch it. My neighbors would only want to shoot it. I finally identified the snake living in our side paddox.

Of course, I don't know much at all about snakes, I just discovered that tool and wanted to share it with others. So, I doubt there is much I can do for you.

One was black with white bands (bull or king?) and the other was brownish with stripes (striped garter or racer?) I have a picture of the black with white banded one. Could I post it on your site or send it to you? We’ve seen two snakes in the back yard in the past 3 days.

My husband killed a pregnant eastern garter snake this morning right in our backyard. Unfortunately, we didn't identify the snake until after he killed it at which time we realized it was pregnant. The plentiful offspring came squirming out and are all over the place. We feel really aweful because now we know this snake is not a poisnous copperhead but a garter snake. What should we do with all the babies? Hi! My husband killed a pregnant eastern garter snake this morning right in our backyard.
