Thamnophis sirtalis
Snake, about 3' long. Pale in color; in the bright sunshine it appeared to be creamy white. In my photos, a very pale yellow tone appears.
Seen (and almost stepped on) in the grass. We live in a wooded area which has some swampy spots and, of course, New England rocks.
Very calm critter. We spotted each other at the same time and both came to a complete halt. I waited for my camera to be handed to me and the snake never moved even with the entrance of a second person.
Ignore the fact the link says "Dekay's Brownsnake", it is the link for the garter snake.
Looks like a rough green tree snake. Then again it could be in the garter snake family as well
