Thanks once again. I told myself "that's no garter snake! the coloration's all wrong" and then wiki-ed it to be delighted by the amazing variation across type and geographic location.

Garter snakes of MY acquaintance have been dark grey with yellow lateral stripes, no figuring as in your little fellow.
