Ribbon snake

I went out to my moms cousins house for a family reunion out in the sticks, and I came across a ribbon snake in the woods, at least a few hundred yards from the nearest wetland (they own like 14 acres),
wasnt able to catch it but I did get musked pretty good
Its the second wild snake I ever found, and the first one was a brown snake I found when I was 10 or 11 in Detroit
I also saw 2 female turkeys, and about 6 green frogs in a rain puddle (which would help explain the ribbon snake since it was only about 20 feet away).

Cool find I've seen plenty of garters of various species, but no ribbons yet.

yeah it was really cool, i really wish I could of caught it, but it disappeared into a patch of poison ivy , and I was in shorts
they are becoming pretty uncommon and isolated in Michigan do to heavy wetland destruction
