![What kind of snake is this? [Eastern Michigan][SOLVED]](https://i.imgur.com/TDGTweI.jpg){kind=link}
My kid was excited and picked 'em up. I wouldn’t have touched the snake otherwise! I let them know not to do that next time.
Anyone recognize what kind of snake this is? Like, definitively? Thank you!
EDIT: Most likely a Butler’s Garter Snake! Thank you to those who posted answers! Much appreciated! (:
I’m not a snake expert, but that looks like a Butler’s Garter Snake. It’s not dangerous to humans.
I thought that might be it!
Think there’s only one venomous snake in Michigan, and it didn’t look like that, so I figured it was safe. But you never know! Gotta be safe, yeah?
Thank you!
