This snake is on Aquidneck Island at a nature sanctuary where I work. We have a very well documented population of garter snakes, but not ribbon snakes (island effect). The scale is difficult to tell in this photo, but it was pretty large.
looks quite close to this one here on the link below

Looks more like a ribbon snake to me.
