Snakes can't be poisonous bro, they can only be venomous or not, while even if venomous some can't still kill as the toxicity of secreted venom can't kill a human.
Now to answer your question I can't say if this is venomous but baba abeg take precaution

Garter snake, non venomous, you have nothing to worry about..
Its a garter snake.

It is found around green plants.

I was experimenting with a Tomatoes specie in Ajah then and it came.

I researched them and found out they are very useful in tomatoes farms as they help eliminate harmful insects on the farm.

The type I saw was a shade of green.

It is one of the most beautiful creature I have ever seen.

It's also very good at hiding.

It is non- poisonous.

It is common around America but I was so surprised to find it in Lagos Nigeria .

Backup with proof that some snakes gat no trace of venom
There are snakes without venom they only bite to scare away predators eg the Python while some are venomous but still can't kill a human but can kill lesser creatures like rat example is the rat snake and gliding snake, use Google for more info

Brother I understand what u saying totally... Read what I wrote again then u will understand. All snakes got venoms but some venoms are very weak that even bucket of it in your system won't do u any harm.

U see that snake u said got no venoms allow It to bite you and u will notice sweat on you but it ends there to show u the venom isn't active

you are wrong bro not all snakes have venom I have forgotten the name of this snake it mimics a very venomous snake even in shape size and color only those who truly know them can differentiate them, yet it has no venom at all there is even a poem about them "red and yellow kills a fellow, red and black a gentle fellow, they both have the same colours but the difference is the sequence of colour pattern. And lastly because a snake isn't venomous doesn't mean a bite from said snake should be treated with levity even a shark has no venom but a bite almost inevitably gives you a serious or mild bacterial infection look it up bro

You spoilt every sense in your post with that initial abuse, if White people were this intolerant and boastful I wonder how many curses we'll receive each day from asking questions on google and other search engine. Next time try and make yourself more useful, this is a public forum.

GeneralPula:


Snakes are generally shy animals and you don’t just find them at your house without the following;
Food source
Places to hide(Cool damp areas)
Availability of shelter under scrap metal, wood piles, trash

Things to do;
Remove their food sources, dont leave pet food out and store animal feed in tight containers.(If you got pet)

One of the most surest way of chasing them off is by introducing a cat into your compound. Meow Moew & watch em snakes staying off! The moment one of em snakes jam the cat in your compound, they’ll all disappear! You’ll hardly find snakes near any Cat Family!

Don’t be scared sha. Tho I’m not sure of the name but this particular snake is not gonna attack you. It’s not as if there are snakes without venom, it’s just that not all snakes attack!

Thumbs up bro.

It looks like it's a member of the cobra family because it raises its head if it's cornered. They are very common in Lokoja, Kogi state.
