Simply put does this guy need to die? In the backyard with the 3 and 4 year old kids. I don't know what it is, sure one of you do. Thanks

NO it does not need to die. It's non-venomous and from a quick look, appears to be a harmless garter snake. Regardless the ID, it is NOT a venomous snake.

Probably as sacred of you guys as you are of IT.
Garter snake, pick it up and it will poop on you!
Probably the least harmless snake there is. I remember in health class they thought us what venomous snakes looked like in our area. Did nobody ever py attention? I’m not specifically referring to the op but I see so many mis identified snakes. A lot of people think if it’s not black it’s venomous
Maybe ask your wife to move it for you ?

It’s a great addition to your yard. It preys on small rodents
He’s a goner if he slithers up on my property. Needless to say, they’re all diamondback water rattlers in my book.
Excellent source of pest control! Wife is scared to death of them.
When I lived on the lake I had all types of snake neighbors. I had a big rat snake that lived in the remaining wall next to my shop. He .inded his business and I handled mine
Our property is infested with eastern black racers and we love seeing them, great rodent eaters.
Thanks guys, wife sent me that pic while I was at work. It was near the shed where the kids play. If it freaks out the 3 year old it may still disappear, harmless or not.
I found one of these going on under a old tarp when I was a kid.
glad you guys know about snakes... to me there are only two types: alive and dead
