Thamnophis sirtalis
A young 9 inch long yellow and black patterned snake.
Found in a rural backyard along a fencerow between an open yard and woodland. This is my first common gartersnake found on my property!
Because these snakes are often associated with human yards and gardens where they are beneficial for controlling pests, these snakes are often mistakenly called garden snakes.
