What kinda snake is this. Is deadly will it bite. Do you have any in your area. Unscramble this before heading up the river. DEALPD.
When I was 4 or so my dad told me and my cousin that snakes are good for the garden so us kids gathered up a mess of garter snakes and put them in the only garden we could find; my aunts tulip garden. The snakes didn't like it there but they sure liked her cement porch to sun themselves on. My aunt ( terrified of any snake) went to step out the door and let out a screeching warhoop that that would have made a banshee indian proud, my mom heard while in our house some 150 yards away. Butch and I were half way between houses. I admired mom's form as she did the 100 yard dash to my aunts' house. ( if there had been a match going on I think mom would have won). Boy did we get in trouble!! My dad didn't laugh out loud but if his grin was any bigger I think the top of his head would've fallen off. He had to diciplin us so he made us cut the grass. At that time all we had was a reel type mower with a handle that was higher than our head; it was a struggle but we got'er done. I still think it was funny 70 years later.LOL

Garter snake. No venom. If you mess with it too much, it will bite...but so what?

When I ever see one I throw it in my garden before my two 4 legged kids kill it. Good to get bugs.

Wow Melvin. I was only 2 years old then.
You guys are making me feel very old. I still catch snakes here in Florida and do a lot of fishing.

Ah ! Another proponent of 'Peter Pan Syndrome' ! At the risk of being redun-dun-dundant, I will repeat the premise so often stated;
'Growing older is mandatory,
while 'growing up' is optional' !

Well, although the one you're holding in the photo's markings look like some species of rattler, the head doesn't look like a
viper's; what species was it ?
