Thamnophis marcianus
long, thin, and pokey. he had a pink tongue which he flicked constantly. he had a checkered pattern down his back.
these noodle bois live all over america. they need to be near water though and are typically found near wet grassy areas such as gardens.
super friendly, super curious. these noodle didn't mind being picked up at all, i mean he slither around my hand a lot but he didn't bite me and thats the most affection you can get from a snake i guess. super cute 13/10

The checkered Garter Snake is endemic to the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America, meaning it's not found outside those areas. There are 2 garter snakes found in Maryland. You can read about them and decide which you saw here: https://dnr.maryland.gov/wildlife/Pages/....
