*possible* whipsnake?

It’s prolly a garter I don’t recognize as I’ve never seen him in my yard before, but could he by some chance be a whipsnake ?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6c5c06dc20.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3e4b90dbe8.jpg

That is a beautiful snake... whip or not.

Looks like a garter to me. Beautiful snake. Nice pic

I'm thinking it's a ribbon snake. But species ID isn't my strong suit.

This is a garter snake, I suppose this is a northwestern garter snake (Thamnophis ordinoides), which is highly variable in coloration, but if you google for it you will find several pictures showing snakes similar to yours.

I second this, there’s no mistaking that line or the way the scales look.
