What type of snake do you think it might have been?

I couldn't find much about a Hunter Heron. Would it be one of the Night Herons?

LOL Hunter is just the name i gave him, because he hunts at my house a lot. He is just a Heron.

Thanks, being an amateur birder, I try to ID the exact bird. Yellow-crowned night heron - Wikipedia

Probably a garden or garter snake. I see them around under bricks or branches.

Ha, yeah that's him, he didn't have his partner with him this time. They come together on occasions.
