| Can anyone identify this snake?
Was out fishing today, and this little guy decided to say hi...it's the first time I've ever saw a snake in the wild before and I haven't the slightest idea what kind it is. |

Looks like a Garter snake, used to catch them as kids all the time. |

cool thanks. I thought it was, but the images online didn't quite look like this one. This one's colour was more vivid to me. |

Reminds me of a story on CBC a few days ago. A woman was talking about growing up with her little brother who loved frogs and snakes and creatures of that type and gradually she learned to quite like them herself.
She was walking down the street one day and there was quite a commotion with a crowd gathered around and an old guy poking at a bush with a stick. She asked what was going on and the old guy said -- quite heroically -- there was a snake in there and he was trying to prod it out.
The little girl looked in, reached in and picked it up and put it around her neck and said "what a pretty snake, wait til my brother sees this!" and skipped home. 
She said in the interview that it had never been her intention to make it so the old guy would be embarrassed to show his face in the neighbourhood for weeks afterwards, but that's apparently how it turned out! She felt bad for the guy in later years!
