This is one of my favorite snakes!
Also, Garter Snakes are one of the most commonly encountered snakes in many areas of North American. Many individual species of Garter and Ribbon snakes exist, and differentiating them can sometimes be difficult. About 25% of the snake species in Wisconsin are Garter & Ribbon snakes.
Many of you will probably recognize this snake, and the dark black with yellow lines pattern of these snakes is one that is familiar with people of all ages. The Garter Snake is just as likely to be seen at the lake or river as it is to be seen in the woods or field, so sometimes they are very easy to come by.
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.

Very cool, there may also be ones that are white or yellow in color in your area.

I've always liked them. When I was a kid in Minnesota, I once saw one entwined around the trellis at the edge of our deck, halfway through swallowing a frog. Had there been digital photography and modern memes at the time, I would have posted it as "Snek meets predicament" or some such.

Ah... I know this snake well.
This is the only snake to bite me waaaaay up in the Canadian backwoods.
Everyone (from Europe) was afraid that I was going to die. We were about two days paddle fro the road end, so no chance of medical aid before the poison did its job.
Luckily for me, I had been to a nature centre a couple of days before hand and seen all sorts of snakes there and talked about them with the staff. (Ok, I admit it. I wasn't really talking about the snakes, I was trying to chat up the very cute ranger ;-) )
So I knew that the garter snake venom wouldn't kill me. The bite did hurt a bit though. And I learned really quick to grab just a little closer to the head ;-)

There aren't too many snakes to be worried about in the US, all things considered. Canada even less so, other than perhaps rattlesnakes in some areas.

No, I think that the Dice Snake is more European where these are North American.

Cute snake. I usually leave them where I find them though. They're not high on my list to keep as pets.

I am not afraid of snakes but I was told to leave them a lone they are not bothering you so don't bother them. We had quite a few of them on our farm in Wisconsin. I removed a black racer snake from in front of the school a few days ago. My Boss came to me and asked if I was afraid of snakes and I told her no. So she asked me to move it for her. The next business owner over said I was brave and my Boss just told her I was her farm girl and not afraid of much. LOL

My friend and I would lift up rail logs near the train yard and there would be like 10-15 garter snakes scattering into the nearby grass from underneath.
I caught one at the Southern Tip of Canada in the forest a few months back.
