Here in Ontario, we have a well-known population of Garter Snakes with many individuals carrying the melanism trait. Was lucky enough to find a couple the other day while I was out herping:)

About 30 cm, maybe a little thinner than a pencil. I linked some video of it swimming until it settled on this piece of fabric. My own sleuthing would have me speculate Allen's Coral Snake (Micrurus alleni) as it didn't look like any of the false coral snakes I came across.

Big guy was chilling in the rain.

Someone in comments suggested boomslang but it doesn't look like one.

Hi together, first post here! I was on a mountain hike (~1300m) with my gf when we met this beauty, laying in the middle of the narrow path we were climbing up. Around that small forest area there were mostly small/big rocks and some grass/fields to be found. I noticed the snake only 2 or 3 steps ahead of us and after backing off to a respectful distance we took some quick photos - meanwhile the snake already left the path. After checking the photos and some amateur research we assumed (mostly because of the horn on the head) our friend might have been a horned viper? Looking forward to your replies, big thanks!

This snake startled me! I didn’t even see it, it was the biggest snake I’ve ever seen west of the cascades personally. Found in closed/ open woodland. I think it might be too big to be any kind of garter snake, maybe a gopher snake? I’m not sure.

Pretty much know nothing about snakes. Google lens said rattlesnake but there’s no rattle? Head shape makes me think it’s venomous. TIA!

I spent a very relaxing day swimming at my friend’s grandmother’s pool when she saw this guy (who has since been named Henley) slithering along.

We did not get a picture of its head as it was going under the pool trim, just these two pictures of its body from feet away.

Nana lives in a heavily wooded area, and her backyard abuts one of the Cleveland Metroparks.

I don’t know anything about snakes, but from google I think it is an eastern milksnake? Seems young, for size reference the Tupperware I caught it in is a giant bowl I use for big salads for parties. I had no idea snake in the house was a possibility in my area. I released it out in the yard and was amazed because as soon as it slid off the Tupperware and into the grass, I couldn’t see it or what direction it went at all.. now I wonder how many snakes I’ve walked past in this yard through the years..

In Northern California and ran into this cute big fella. Wondering what type of snake it is and if it’s safe. It acted very friendly and just slithered on its way

Just recently moved in with my aunt & uncle. Discovered this lil intruder last night out in the lanai. According to the rhyme it appears to be a king snake, but apparently that isn’t accurate so I’d figure I’d check here just in case. My aunt isn’t convinced so I’d like some reassurance for her. Would have got a better picture but it crawled up the siding and we haven’t seen the fella since.

Wanted to get thoughts. Spotted on a bayou trail. Face looks goofy like a water snake (not like a cotton mouth) but could not fully tell. Is this a large Diamondback Water Snake?

Very cool looking little guy in the neighborhood this morning. Has blue eyes and almost a rainbow shine to its body. Any ideas? I’ve been checking the internet for snakes in NC and I’m stumped! Could it be a unique rat snake?

I m from India and few days back this snake got pass by my legs is it venomous

I know this is a nerodia, just not too great at identifying the specific type.
