Default Snake ID??
Caught this little sucker in my back yard and not exactly sure what it is. I checked his eyes and its not poisonous. He was only about 10 inches long so I'm assuming its a baby.

Crap. The pictures don't look as clear on here as they do on my phone.

Looks like what I call a ground rattler.

I have never heard to check a snake's eyes to determine if it is poisonous or not.
What is it in their eyes that tells you one way or the other?

Gotcha. That sounds like something that I would check after the head has been detatched from the body of the snake!

Lol. It was a tiny little guy. I actually just let it go, I think that's the first time I've ever let one live but I'm pretty sure it was harmless.

I don't think that's always the case, just like all poisonous snakes don't have a diamond shaped head

Every poisonous snake has a elliptical eye ( like a cat ) but some nonpoisonous do too. Like pythons.

Not saying your wrong, but don't garter snakes usually have yellow stripes? This one looked like it had more diamond shapes on his back. Or, are there different breeds of garter snakes?

its not a garter snake, it is a Brown Snake. Much smaller than a Garter Snake, that's about as big as they get, found in gardens etc. It is about as harmless a snake as you can find. Garter Snakes have a much whiter background.
Prairie Rattler? are you kidding me?
