Garter snakes

[bigsnakegirl785]

The garters probably aren't doing too much for your rodent control, they don't eat rodents often in the wild. Most species eat mostly frogs, toads, salamanders, fish, and worms.

Easter garters are the sub-species Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis. "Common garter" refers to all Thamnophis sirtalis ssp, including eastern garters.

Yeah, so I'm guessing they are living off the toads and worms, since there is no water for miles lol. So no fish diet for these guys/gals.

I wouldn't mind finding a baby one to keep. But I wouldn't keep and adult. Just seems to cruel to put them in a cage if they have been wild for so long. So I'll just keep taking photos of them and enjoy them that way
