black and yellow snake in my yard.

[Skiploder]

would that be the red necked keelback? Rhabdophis Subminiatus?


And no, I didn't mean that garters are rear fanged like other rear fanged animals some of which are highly toxic, what I meant was, you can't deny that they have rather large rear teeth and there are toxins in there!!! That is all I was saying!

I thought it was R. Tigrinus but I am getting old and may be wrong.

As to thamnophis having enlarged rear fangs and being venomous - you are 100% correct.
