When I first saw it I thought it was two giant slugs mating! Ti wasn't until I poked it to see if it was alive or perhaps stuck between those closely packed trays that it slowly retreated further into the trays! Amazing to me how small a space a snake can squeeze through. There are plenty of ant colonies in those trays, wonder if snakes dine on ants?

I doubt it is harmful, think it is just a garter snake. Most interesting snake I've come across in my yard is the worm snake. Lives almost exclusively underground and looks like a super sized nite crawler!
