yeah I don't react well around snakes. So far, it has not ended well for anyone that I have ever met.

My vote is for dead snake also very commonly found in neighborhoods and other populated areas

Looks like it was a common garter snake.

Why did you kill it?

Next time, go on a slug hunting rampage. Those suckers are far more dangerous than garter snakes.

I have cats and dogs for the mice and other critters.
It was a shovel.
Typically when I see a snake, its dead. Ill worry about ID'ing it after its dead.
Works out better for me.

Garter snakes are great pets. I had one as a pet. Now that you made your own Gasden flag... Declare your independence!

Garter Snake.....

Don't kill these guys... they are good to have around, eat bugs and small rodents. Totally harmless, though they will give you a nip if you pick them up.

Spiders are quite beneficial too, doesn't mean that I want them in my garage or home either, they get treated the same...
