Snakes in Queens/Brooklyn NY?

There was a snake in the back yard when i went out to do some gardening. So 311 transferred me to 911. Police women came out and after seeing the snake they said it is completely harmless and cannot do anything about it and that calling animal control to rid it wont help much because it is a "garden snake". It was brown and about a foot long. I am horribly afraid of snakes, i mean its one of my FEARS. I thought Brooklyn was kind of safe from snakes.

Is this a common snake is NYC? and is it really harmless and what can i do to rid it?!

i just want it gone..and i suppose any eggs it has laid (which i hope it didnt)

    I think she meant "Garter Snake". They are completely harmless, and are actually pretty cool. Garter snakes are about everywhere, they are very hardy little snakes.

    This snake won't do anything to use. It is more likely to slither away then attack you. Please just leave it alone, it is getting rid of all of the little rodents tearing up your yard.

    It won't hurt you and it is getting rid of pests. If snakes bother you so much move to Ireland. It is one of the only places with no snakes
