Snake ID?

Question

Hello, would like to ID this snake I saw in my backyard.

Naturalist's Response

Thanks for sending a picture of a Common Garter Snake. It’s nice to have one to control garden pests and small mammals. They are beneficial critters and harmless to humans. Enjoy having him/her patrolling your property. -Naturalist Linda Gilbert
