December garter

[ssssnakeluvr]

I just received a garter from my friend at the rescue...he picked it up from a lady that found it last saturday here in West Valley City, a suburb of Salt Lake City. she lives about 2 miles from me. it was cold out saturday and had snowed the night before. she found the little garter on her back porch. he has some gunk or something in his mouth and I am warming him up and will get a better look at it later, not sure if its from an injury or dirt. talk about cold tolerant!!!! I will post photos later, nice yellow stripes, brown color.... kinda odd to find this time of the year here.

Frosty the Garter was a jolly happy snake, with a dorsal stripe and powerful nose and his eyes can see your soul.

Frosty the garter was a fairy tale they say, it was out in the snow and people know how they saved his life one day.

It could have been tragic but it turned into magic for that garter snake they found,
for when he was warm and fed, he began to dance around.

Frosty the garter was alive as he can be, and the people say he can he can bite and spray and sometimes go off feed.

Frosty the Garter knew the sun was hot that day, so he had some fun, soaked up some sun in his basking spot so gay.

Frosty the garter had to hurry on his way, so he flicked his tongue saying gotta run, as he slithered on his way.....

He has a stubby head. XD
And that looks like an injury... Like something nicked him in the face a while back.

[ssssnakeluvr]

most of the stuff came off after soaking...does look like some injury under it....can see it better with the larger photos...my eyes aren't the greatest...with my contacts in I can't get up real close.

[adamanteus]

Looks like damage rather than mud, Don.

[ssssnakeluvr]

yea, there is damage...but I also pulled some gunk off him....could have been old dead skin too. will let him get settled into his new home and other day before I stress him out checking again

[brain]

Looks like he is eating well enough. Good job Don

[ssssnakeluvr]

he hasn't eaten yet...was just sitting there while I took some photos...not sure he will eat yet, since I just got him yesterday

[Aundrea]

awwwwwww hes still a good looking snake!!! I like the name Frosty and Wayne OMG you are too funny!!! Frostys new song :D

[infernalis]

Thanks, it was nothing really. I did have to pause and regroup when I got to "bite and spray"

Couldn't think of anything to rhyme with musk.

[crzy_kevo]

he does have a stumpy head what species is it don i cant really tell

Tusk :confused:

[ssssnakeluvr]

he is a wandering garter....head looks normal to me...does have some injury to the side of his face

[anji1971]

Other than the "broken" face, he looks pretty good to me, especially after being out in the cold!:D
Nice colouring on him, too.

[guidofatherof5]

Looks like he could use some TLC. Came to the right place. Didn't he!

[drache]

nice little guy
I'm curious to see that head after he sheds

[jitami]

Aw, what a sweetie... very nice save... kudos to the woman who found him and to you for the TLC... love the name & his song Wayne :D (dusk) Btw, I've seen many a snowman with misshapen heads :D

[infernalis]

OK a bunch of words rhyme with musk, now I challenge anyone to make them fit into a modified "frosty"

[jitami]

nah, it's perfect as is :D

[crzy_kevo]

i thought it was a vagrans guess im getting really good at identifying garters now :D

That's what happens when you hang around Thamnophis.com for too long Kev.
