Hi Everyone! I've been checking out this wonderful site for months now and have been wanting to post pics and info on the Garter Snakes we have here in southern Minnesota. However...its been a Crazy field season, and it isn't over yet! so I hope it's OK that my first post will include links to another web-site.
On September 22 and 23 we got drenched with 9 inches of rain (some places got up to 14!) and when the flood waters came, I photographed several dozen Garter Snakes taking refuge in trees and low bushes along a river not far from where I live.
Rather than re-copying and posting the pics and info here, I thought it would be easier to just provide a quick link to the full story already posted on Field Herp Forum.
As soon as it cools down a bit outside, I'll have more time to show off some more of our Garters we have around here. Again...this is a great site and I look forward to spending more time here sooon!! TeeJay.
