Re: Snake I.D. please.
Looks like a rat snake of some sort. Doesn't look like a garter snake to me

Re: Snake I.D. please.
Yeah I hate to object to Wayne but I zoomed in on the picture and the pattern is far more mottled and banded... I don't think it's a garter, it reminds me more of a northern water snake.

Excellent call +1 (without zooming it looks speckled)

Re: Snake I.D. please.
I don't think Missouri counts as northern though.

Re: Snake I.D. please.
I wasn't sure about that myself, so i looked it up just now... Handy little website for your viewing pleasure... http://mdc.mo.gov/sites/default/file.../5187_3026.pdf
There are northern water snakes in Missouri as well as other species of water snakes too. I stick to my ID though...

Re: Snake I.D. please.
My money is on a yellow bellied racer or possibly a yellow bellied water snake. According to that PDF northern water snakes are only found in the Norther ⅔ of MO.

Re: Snake I.D. please.
This is a Thamnophis elegans vagrans (Wandering Gartersnake). It looks pretty similar to me.

Re: Snake I.D. please.
The snake in your picture has a dorsal line that the snake in the OP's picture doesn't have.

Re: Snake I.D. please.
Yeah, you're right. I didn't notice the zoomed-in pic of the snake.

Re: Snake I.D. please.
Unfortunately, unless we could get a better picture, it's nearly impossible to get a hundred percent identification on.

I have seen quite a few wandering garters that lack the dorsal stripe, hence my first guess.
