Thanks for all your help everyone. I went back out to get a better picture and it was gone. It probably went somewhere else in my yard. The reason I asked about that snake is because my 3 y/o daughter plays out there and I did not want her to get hurt by it. Are racers also harmless? I was cleaning out my yard, there was alot of brush all around, and I fliped this big rock and there where 5 snakes under there 4 babies and that one racer. I am a little scared of snakes, but left them alone. I even picked up the smaller one and played with it a bit so my daughter would not be scared of them. I hear that Garter snake are good for gardens because the eat bugs and stuff, so i will welcome them in there. Thanks again for all your help, I will post a couple more pictures when I get home so you guys can see the babies. I also enjoy seeing all the pictures of the different types of garter snakes you guys post.

Thanks.
Enrique
