unfortunatley I only have the one picture. Thank you for the input! I did not know snakes eyes turned a blueish color when it came time to shed.

Most likely an Eastern Gartersnake - Thamnophis sirtalis but additional photos will help. You are just a bit north for queensnakes although not by much so if it is a queensnake, this is a particularily interesting spotting. Do you have more photos?

It could be a queen snake. I agree about the eyes, it is about to shed.

Hard to tell from this photo, could be a garter or watersnake.

Probably a common garter snake. Do you have any other pictures? Did it have tan/yellow lines? How long was it?
