Garter Season is almost here!

[Greg'sGarters]

I haven't seen any wild garters this year, I think they're waiting for the rainy season to end. Once it stops raining, that's usually when they come out. Plus on my trip to Florida this year, I picked up a new camera, so once I start seeing some, I will post up pictures. I like to think of this as my lucky camera lol, because ever since I got this camera, I was able to get a pictures of both my house geckos and leopard geckos laying eggs, as well as a video of my leopard gecko burying her eggs! Hopefully this luck will also help bring out the garters! I'm going fishing on Sunday at the one spot I have seen more garters than anywhere else, hopefully I will see some there. I just wanted to know, have you guys seen any garters out this year?

So far this year, I've only seen one Northern Water Snake (Nerodia sipedon), and the black racer that regurgitated it.

PA, I want to leave at 4:00AM, get to Walmart to buy fishing licenses at 5:00AM, try my hardest not to look like a creep being at Walmart at 5:00 in the morning at the fishing/hunting/firearm counter, also buy some bait, get to the spot at 5:30AM, and go from there. I'm really excited! Oh btw, if anyone has any good tips for catching bass, shoot me a PM, I'm going to try fake worms (I usually use the real ones) but also have a few real night crawlers on hand just in case.

Seen a whole den of males at the park coming out for the season, I think that was back at the beginning of April. And I find them most days under the junk beyond the railroad track in the backyard.
