What Snake is this?

That is definitely a garter snake. They eat minnows, slugs, crickets, snails, lizard, mice, etc. On balance, definitely worth
keeping around, and in NO WAY is it deemed aggressive or unsafe to anyone. Please try to leave it alive if you see it
again. No one can expect EVERYONE to leave snakes alive around their family, but the only absolutely unforgiveable
sin is to kill a KING SNAKE. Since they are reasonably at risk due to their frequent snatching for pets, a 3.5
foot long specimen should definitely be left to breed, especially during global warming and the insect apocolypse.
But of course if he was 3.5 feet long, he was actually 2 feet long, lol. RIBBON snakes make better pets, but they
are not very aggressive as pets, either, although I highly recommend against any snake or turtle as a pet.
