Garter snakes.
Harmless
I see no reason to kill them.

^ this. Don't worry about 'em one bit unless they get into your house, haha. They do pest control for free.

Is the Garter snake a mispronunciation of Garden snake? Or is the garden snake found in gardens and the garter snake found in uhm, well... we have many different name for that snake! :D:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Black one too?
The black looking one in the upper right of the one picture that looks like it's looking at your rain gutter? Looks darker but still the garter snake pattern. Maybe less light hitting it in the picture...

Garters eat bugs,snails and small rodents. So we leave them alone.
I've been bit by them on a finger, sharp needle like teeth, so don't point at them :)
