Hello everyone. We found a snake in our house today and figured that it was probably a garter snake. However, it was dark in the area and we weren't taking any chances, so I got it out of the house ASAP. Once I had it outside I took some pictures (links below).

From what I've read today, garter snakes generally have a stripe down the side, right? I don't see a clear stripe in my pics. So, I thought I should find a forum of experts who could chime in on this! Is this a garter snake or something else? And if it's something else, any clue as to what it is?

Thanks for your help. We're just trying to figure out if we should be worried or what to think. Oh, and one last thing... we live in southern Indiana if that helps.
