Yeah I'm in western Maryland (Allegany county)... and no there aren't any nuclear power plants near me. lol...
Its definately an oddity in the garter world, as we get alotta them around here but non are over 2' cept for this guy. I'm starting to wonder if maybe i have it confused with another type of snake? (which is beyond me). but its solid black head to toe so I don't know.

I really think you have confused it with another type. Maybe it is a Black Rat Snake.

Maybe, I don't know snakes that well, but it looked like every other garter i've ever caught cept abour 2 feet longer. It was pretty docile considering it was a wild caught (then released) snake.
Next time I see him I'll keep him and see if i can get him to eat for me. (or atleast sit still long enough to take some pics)

Well after a quick search on Google I discovered that the snake i always reffered to as a garter snake is most likely a black rat.. cept the big one didn't have the white/grey belly. Its underside was almost as black as the rest of it. It was solid black nose to tail.
Funny, my grandfather always taught me that they were garters lol. He had a name for the garters (what i know know them as) too but I can't remember it lol.

Andariel.....What you ought to do is search on google for snakes that are native to your State and see if you can find what kind that it was.

It was a Black Racer
Taken from this webpage: http://www.snakesandfrogs.com/scra/snakes/racer.htm
Thats the 5' beauty i have crawlin around my back yard cept it says they are vicious and will bite when handled... and this guy wasn't quite as mellow as Andariel, but he/she didn't seem to really mind being handled. Who knows. If he comes back this summer I'll catch him and hold him for a few days/week or so and observe him. Tho not in teh same room as my Andy cause I don't want her to catch somethin from it.
