Can't see the head too well, is the belly light yellow or orange colored? Did it have a thin orange or yellow band just behind the head? Looks like a Dekay's snake, not a garter snake. garter snakes are striped legnthwise. Dekay's snakes are harmless and most will not bite even if you pick them up. Garter snakes will bite if you pick them up, but the only risk is from infection where they bit you.
