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 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!
