Just basic garter. I've got some like that here in Michigan. Had an almost 3 footer, who curled back at struck at my foot when I waved it in front of him. Feisty feller.

That’s what I was thinking. My brother in law & sister ran across it while hiking

I've been seeing them around on my property and recently looked them up, it seems that although they are not poisonous their saliva can be nasty.

Oh yeah, you wouldn't want a snake bite into soft flesh. Or any lizard, really. Their mouths are bacteria cesspools.

Speaking of snakes; This is a photo taken a few days ago in my drive. The large tread tire marks are from my truck. The tread is about 12" wide for scale.

And this photo is from about two years ago in my back yard. It's a Diamond Back Rattler about four feet long. He succumbed to lead poison. As I recall, it had about 8-9 rattle segments.

Remember that rattlesnakes and other poisonous snakes will still bite long after they are dead!! Lots of people get messed up that way; cut the head off, and the damn thing still bites you. Lizard brains are like zombies, man. Until every calorie of internal energy is expended, they will still respond to stimulus. creepy.
