Cute little fella, soon as he spotted me he lifted up and stayed like that, motionless, looking at me as if I were rather sus!
That’s adorable! Does anyone know what kind it is?
Garter snake. Probably a common ribbon snake but it could also be a Northwestern garter or one of several similar garters.

And one more of him, eyeing my very suspiciously, lol
Little periscopes!
So cute! I’ve only seen snakes out and about a few times and it’s always such a treat. I’d love to find a way to make my yard more hospitable for them, but I’m sadly surrounded on all sides with neighbors who spray their lawns and keep them all super short.
Absolutely cute critter you have in your yard there. Looks like the little dude has a delightful kingdom to roam around in 👑.
I love his colors! Such a cute little dude
Beautiful shots! Cute noodle!
Does he think that you think that he is grass/greenery/(what is that, sedum?)? Silly snek.
Nice! Snakes are a sign of a healthy, chemical-free environment.
He looks so adorable!
