Hayden, this is Garter Snake. Common to most of the eastern united states. Typically very docile. I was out taking pics of bugs and just about stepped on it. Had my 50mm f2.0 macro lens on the camera. For this shot that would put my lens about 6 inches from the snakes head. #4271034Peggy J. Maguire May 11, 2007
