What kind of snake is that?  It doesn't look venomous.  We've got poisonous ones here but thank God I've only seen one live one in the wild.

Well he just looks kinda curious.  I don't recognize the species, but from the eyes he looks non venomous. Just probably glad someone was cleaning up the joint.

Good Morning Sara, it is a Garter snake... not venomous at all, but they do bite and wont let go once they do

Jim, I think the snake was thinking: "if I dont move he cant see me"  This one was probably about 3 feet long.

Robert- Venemous or not, I can't think of anything worse than a snake that bites and once it does it won't let go! My heartbeat sped up just reading that comment you made above. I can't imagine how scary of a moment that would be!

Margie, I wouldn't call it scary... they have little teeth, so you end up with a "U" shaped bite... you can pry them off pretty easily, I just worry more about hurting them

Yikes Robby!  That would have had me screaming and running like a girl... oh wait... I guess I am a girl... a middle aged girl!  Have a great weekend!

Steve, you are absolutely right.  it seems like they all wake up at once and are out and about, probably "looking for love"!

Maria, I was thinking to myself: "how the heck can I take my phone out of my pocket, while holding 2 snakes, and take a picture for my blog- all without getting bitten???
