    Yes I believe that is what it was.  They are harmless.

     :iagree:  Looks like a corn snake.  Too bad, the colors look pretty.

    I don't "do" snakes very well. I'm not terrified of them or anything. If I know they are there I'm cool with it.
    I was in a wrecking yard once years ago laying on my back under a car pulling a part off when a snake crawled right over my chest. I freaked out ... banged my head about a dozen times trying to get out from under that car as fast as I could. Had a trickle of blood running down my face by the time I got out.
    I was so pissed off? I grabbed a bumper laying on the ground and bashed it into pieces.
    Turns out it was a garter snake!  :roflsmiley:

    Yeah...  I'm kinda one of those that wouldn't hesitate to scream like a b!tch and run like hell....  :)  I wouldn't even have the guts to attack it - I've seen enough things-gone-wrong videos involving snakes...

    I will stick to the 4-wheeled, V10 versions, thank you very much!
