Re: Found a Garter in my Garden....
Hmm, to me it doesn't really look like a garter. Lets wait and see what Wayne thinks though.

Re: Found a Garter in my Garden....
I have another garter atm as well (pics later) that we caught it is a checkered garter and a guy at the Denver reptile show had a bunch and told me there is no way I found that in Colorado Springs because they arn't native..... ffs its like the 3rd one I have found.
Ps. the checkered loves fish!!

lol I stared at it as it sat in a bush for quite awhile before I felt confident enough that it wasn't venomous, Its head just didn't seem like it could be. Back in Minnesota I wouldn't think twice about grabbing anything but I am out of my element in CO.

Re: Found a Garter in my Garden....
It almost looks like a baby Bull Snake. Other possibilities are Baby Rat or Glossy snakes. There is a how to ID snakes in the US, section on my website. It goes by scale counts. Since you have the snake and can count the scales you might want to try it. Go to Home - Snakeman's Snake Shows.

I have a black racer, raised from birth.. want pics?
BTW - try feeding a small lizard like an anole.. My baby racer would only eat anoles.

In a couple days after I let my facial hair come back, I'll take a pic.
I'm often told I look like Hugh Laurie

Then you should change your display picture to you with facial hair next to a picture of his.
