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’d recommend not picking up any snakes you can’t identify.
Does eastern Michigan have anything venomous? Copperhead maybe?
I’m not a snake expert, but that looks like a Butler’s Garter Snake. It’s not dangerous to humans.
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!
