This guy is living around my little pond in Ohio. Any idea what he is? Do I need to worry about getting bit?

Thanks,

Terri

Good guess but not P obtusifollia (leaves are more round than these tear shaped ones). Also no tree-like 'trunk' stems like that. Don't think it's a Pep, I'll guess some form of Senecio.

Is this some kind of optical illusion or is that a 1.5" diameter tree in about a 6" diameter pot? I'm not liking the long-term survivability here. Is this going in the ground soon?

Bigger garter snakes may occasionally bite when first picked up, but they won't hurt you(unless you're a frog or worm!). What they WILL do though, is poop on you! That's their main defense, and boy does it stink!
