Re: Hi from the eastern US

Thanks for the welcome.
I need a better camera. Right now all I have working is the one in my phone.
I'll take a stab a description though . . .
The little snake is about 25" (ca 65cm) long and 3/8" (1cm) thick in the middle
It's a deep olive color with a belly the colour of hard-boiled egg yolk.
There are bright yellow lateral stripes, with pale olive stripes separating them from the abdominal colour.
There is no dorsal stripe although the colouring is a bit duller right along the medial dorsal line.
It also has a bit more of a neck than my garters.
Does any of this ring a bell?
I thought it might be some kind of ribbon snake, but couldn't find pics of any without dorsal stripes.
I'm working on getting a decent camera
