It was most likely a Garter Snake. They usually have thin white stripes running lengthwise down their backs. They are non-venomous and harmless unless you grab them, then they can give you a painful bite (on the order of the bite of a cat). The Garters that I have seen in Delaware have ranged from less than a foot to about 3 feet. Garters normally move very quickly and are somewhat aggressive given that they can't really back it up... It could also be a small Black Snake. The Black Snakes that I have seen in DE ranged from 2' to 6'. They are generally solid black with white underbellies. Black Snakes are also non-venomous and harmless. They are constrictors and very docile snakes. I have handled many (to move them off of roads and out of the way of a tractor) and not once has one tried to bite me. They are normally not aggressive at all. One defense tactic that they will use is beating their tail against leaves or brush to imitate a rattle snake. Don't be confused! There are no longer rattlers in DE (not for 100 years). Please don't kill them. They are harmless and there is too much pressure on them already. -BJ
