Answer 1

WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

Answer 2

First off - you are a very brave (or foulish) soul to attempt to pin a snake, not knowing if it's venomous or not!

It'd be very difficult to answer this question without knowing what part of the country/world you live in.

A picture would be very helpful, if you can manage to snap one.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help (and please don't grab it again, until you know what it is!!!).

Answer 3

garter snake

Answer 4

depending on where you live possibly a king snake. Generally the specks could be white depends on how close you were.
