Snake looks like it could be either a Garter (folks often call the "gardner

one type).
Do they have better pictures of it?
Like out of the water?
The Garter Snake's black isn't as shiny as the Ribbon snake's, and their yellow
isn't as vibrant as the Ribbon's as well.


Yes, either a Garter or a Ribbon. I have caught a couple
of Ribbon Snakes before. I have seen but never caught a Garter
snake.

The difference is that the stripes in Ribbon Snakes
go all the way to the tip of the tail.
