:eek:

It's a good thing I didn't see that two months ago. Let's just say there would be 18 fewer garters released into the wild.

it's just a bunch of blood - probably not much to see once it got wiped up, right Josh?

Congratulations on your cute addition! :)

Actually, I've had similiar experiences with garter snake bites. I don't even realize I've been bit 'till I see the blood gushing all over the place.

Is it possible that garters have some sort of anti-coagulant in their saliva? I know bats and leeches do, but that's for a different reason.
