After the photo session I ushered this guy off the road. Not a busy road, he probably wouldn't have been run over. 20 inches long, very slender snake.

Eastern Garter snake .
Yup.
Not a "Plaines"garter?
Nope, Allen lives i Appalachia, not the plains. There are similarities among congeners, so locality matters.
that's your basic road snake
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Are you sure it is not a "Highway Snake"?
They share similar features.

All this time I thought it was a gravel private road serpent... so many variations... good thing He dog is around to set us all straight....
No, those are flatter.
