Harmless Garter snake. Not much of a rat "getter". Sure enough Rat snakes can be many colors and can be as long as 3-4 feet. A good guy to have around if you have a rat or poisoness snake problem. They are constricters and will kill a Copperhead in a New York min. I watched this happen years ago in my back yard. Something to see belive me. They will bite the hell out of you if mess with them.
Please don't kill these guys.
Good for you Travis for turning those Guys loose. :thumbs-up:
