Hi everyone,

I don't know much about snakes and I am rather new to Sevierville, so I am still learning about the reptiles and bugs in the area. Yesterday I was walking my dog and a snake caught both of our attention. It was about 3 feet long, mostly dark greenish and had two yellow stripes going all the way down the length of its body. Does anyone have an idea of what kind of snake it could be? It didn't make any sounds, it just noticed my dog was a couple feet away and it slithered into the bushes to get away from us. My dog didn't like it though and dragged me all the way home...

Thanks and have a great weekend

The snake you saw probably was a garter snake or a ribbon snake. They are not venomous.
