Yea I had the same issue. I went with aboreal because the stereotypical photo shows them in trees and both typically live in trees at least a little bit.

I found this snake in my backyard. I think it is a lined snake(the genus Thamnophis) but I might be wrong. Anybody wanna double-check? Thanks

After some searching on the internet seems to be Thamnophis marcianus or Thamnophis sirtalis

It looks like Pituophis to me but I'm probably wrong too
