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.
