Are these snakes just gardeners or are they venemous?

Expert Response

Hello! Neither one is venomous. The picture on the left appears to be a garter snake. The other one might be another garter, or a brown snake. Again, both are non-venomous and harmless. Both feed on worms, slugs, and other soft-bodied insects.
