Hey. I found this in my street. Didn't know what it might be. Also found a turtle, I might try to get some pics of that. There seem to be more reptiles coming around here. Got any idea what this might be?

I'm not sure where you are, but that looks like a common garter snake - Thamnophis sirtalis - completely harmless, though they might try to convince you otherwise. In life they're not that blue - the blue coloration is what their green coloration fades into after they're dead.

No sweat. That would make it the eastern garter, T. s. sirtalis.
