Cool Came across some garters today

Went for a hike today with my husband and I found two garters, one large (gravid female, I think) and one wee adorable baby! I've never found one so small.

My hands still smell like snake musk after washing them 3 times, but it was worth it.

This is where we were hiking:




Garter #1 - she was was a snappy thing! Feisty. She looks indignant in all her photos.

Nice finds! Garters are always fun to find, and and their indignant faces are somehow adorable. lol

GREAT pics of Garter Snake.

I am in search of the absolutely beautiful...,

California Red-sided Garter Snake - Thamnophis sirtalis infernalis (Blainville, 1835) - A beautiful snake from the California coast. Red side patterns with a red head.

I would post a picture here, but I'm new... and can't post pictures yet.

Well worth searching Google Images to have a look-see.
