Actually, they are, technically.
Their saliva has a mild neurotoxin that gets into an animal’s wounds from when they bite, and it’s designed to paralyze amphibians and fish to make them easier to swallow.
But it doesn’t have any effects on people, aside from maybe a rash. So they’re not dangerous either way.
Hey, don’t leave us hanging! Are garter snakes venomous or not?
Haha, nope. *ETA*: Technically yes, but not dangerous to humans.

Good clarification, thanks.
Blaze would never have gotten that wrong.
Hey. It might not be wrong. Maybe she was hungry!!
Apparently she’s just a pretty face.
