Thanks for the info Brian. No, I took it with my iPhone 4. Thanks again!

Hi, Do you have a higher-resolution photograph of this snake? It's probably a common (or eastern) garter snake as pointed out above, but it could be the less common plains garter snake, which have been found in the Saint Charles and Saint Louis areas. Thanks! B
