The season has started here.

They're starting to come out already.

Rescued this little Pituophis catenifer catenifer from the road.

As is customary he recieved a day of water and rest before being released in a safe area. I can't wait to see what pops up this year, hopefully it's better than the last.

Re: The season has started here.

Thanks, two more not so lucky on the road today

I hope to see the garters make a comeback this year. Not too many years ago there would be a regular by my dock swimming along slurping up minnows. The last two years it seems like kings and garters have almost disappeared...

Re: The season has started here.

What a great looking snake, the patterns look almost like a corn snake on the dorsal surface in that second picture

Re: The season has started here.

We are in a similar boat here. Sure I can go 5 minutes from here and find a ton of common garter snakes but only occasionaly can I find a milk snake. Then north of here we can find rattlesnakes but I actually don't want to find them so ... you get it

Re: The season has started here.

I have absolutely zero hot experience and massasauga rattle snakes and small and pack a punch so I have no interest in finding them...the hard way...so to speak. Plus I herp with my kids so safety is a priority. IfI was 20 something I would be all over them but at 40 something...no need .
