I missed putting this in. As walking down the trail another hiker showed me a snake he had discovered on the trail. He said he recognized the markings and it was poisonous. I didn't think it was. Okay, Papa's snake experts. See if you can find out what kind of snake this is and if it is poisonous. It was small, less than 2 feet long. Thanks.
Garter snake - harmless.
ReplyDeleteYellow (light color) stripes running the length of his body with two rows of black (brown/green/red) dots = friendly.
Additionally, look at it's head. Not spade shape like most venomous snakes in the US.
