Looks like a Garter Snake.
(Note: These can also look like a Ribbon Snake)

Beneficial snake. Usually pretty docile, too. But be warned that if you try to pick it up, it can emit a pretty good stink. :laughing:

And they are happy to take a bite out of you if you let them!

It's just a couple pin holes....
My grandma got bit by one in her garden. We took her for a tetanus shot. The Dr. asked how she got bit.... she said it bit her when she grabbed it! Dr. Asked why she grabbed it... "It was in my garden."

It seems like most of the snakes I pick up emit a stink. One pooped on me this summer.

This is some of what we have here in Ohio. I believe it's a Cow Snake. Similar to a black snake, not poisonous, good snake. Unlike the rattlesnakes and copperheads we have too.
