Storeria dekayi?

That is a checkered garter snake

 

[sean31laf]

the scientific name is Thamnophis marcianus , Ive found these crawling in the grass when i was mowing the lawn

 

[sean31laf]

the grass snake, brown snake, and checkered garter snake all look very similar. The checkered garter snake tends to be more of an olive color and the brown snake obviously brown or tan and the grass snake tends to have darker colors than the other two.

So they arent harmful?

 

[sean31laf]

not harmful at all to people, it is a non-poisonous snake

Wow

That's a lucky garter snake. My brother accidentally ran over a few with the lawn mower. He did save 15 tho that we released in our garden later.

Storeria dekayi?

I've got to agree with Molitor here. Although the picture quality isn't the best, I'm very confident this is Storeria dekayi.

if you reside in Indiana, no marcianus. did you live elsewhere?

 

[loxoscelesfear]

Storeria dekayi?

Likely so, head is dark and small, as is the case w/ Storeria.
