garden snakes
Harmless backyard reptiles
Garden snake is an informal name for small, harmless snakes commonly found in yards and gardens, especially the common garter snake.
The name reflects where people typically encounter them rather than any botanical connection: We found a garden snake under the tomatoes.
Sometimes used loosely for any nonvenomous snake seen near homes.
