To Nancy: A black snake with two yellow stripes down its back is a garter snake. Harmless and good for gardens. Garter snakes eat field mice and scare other rodents away. I see them all the time in both addison mich. (Downstate) and in Harrison mich.(Midstate)
Yes there poisoness snakes in Michigan...the only kind is a rattle snake so what you saw was not poisoness I just saw the same kind of snake...I believe it is a rat snake...
