What Snake is this?

Well, after lots and lots of googling, I think I found the guy.

It's a Red-sided Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis)

Apparently mostly abundant in western parts of Iowa. Considering I was a mere 30 minutes from the state line, this is most likely the snake.

Anyhow, thanks for the help guys, never seen one like this, was interesting learning was it was.
