I hope Eastern, then they will eat those mice!

Answer 1

They look heavier than a Butler's,so I would say Eastern.They will eat the mice!! If you could get a rat snake,though,or a corn snake,then you would really have some good mouse killers!!

They don't look like ribbon snakes to me.I've had a ribbon snake for 7 years and she is so much thinner than those snakes.That's why they are called "ribbon" snakes!

Answer 2

either eastern or common garter snakes

Answer 3

its either a eastern or a checkered

Answer 4

They look like Bulter's Garter Snake. Believe me, I know what Eastern ones look like, they are a lighter green than that.

Answer 5

I would say an Eastern Ribbon Snake...my daughter found one last summer that had been hit by a car and brought it home.  Since she volunteers at a local reptile rescue center, we immediately called the owner and had him identify it.  Unfortunately, the snake died during the night, but at least it was peacefully.  Anyway, the one we had was and Eastern Ribbon Snake and looked exactly like the ones in the pic.
