@Jester I believe that is a rat snake. Rat snakes are non-venemous and good. Why are they good? Well, other than eating rodents, they are territorial and keep the poisonous snakes away. If one must have a snake in the garden, a rat snake is preferred overt a rattler or copperhead.
@thebluebox That's interesting. How are they different from gartner snakes? That rat snake looks right at home, they're attracted by excess mouse/rat populations?

Rat snakes tend to get bigger than garter snakes. Garter snakes are not as aggressive towards other snakes. Despite being non-venomous, a rat snake will actively attack and kill any snake it considers an invader in its territory including rattle snakes and copperheads. Garter snakes tend to flee and only fight if another snake is aggressive towards them.
I bought this house in the woods 18 years ago. My husband saw a rattler (in the laundry room) once. We also saw hatchling ringnecks every spring. About 6 years ago, we spotted a young rat snake in a rotted stump near the garden. Since then, we have not seen any other snakes on our property. For that matter, no squirrels either. I saw Phred (that's what hubby named him) last week. He is at least 7 feet long now. He was basking on a sandstone marker at the corner of the garden (we put it there for him when we discovered his den) and appeared to have just eaten a large meal (thinking it was chipmunk or rat sized).

How many tokens do the classes cost and where do I find fort building tokens?

Token cost isn't the problem. Finding line dance tokens is a challenge. Even though very few have signed up for the fort building classes, we're still pushing it.

Those are gross but I'm marginally more scared by the one in Jester's pic
