well, I didn't find this little fella, some people nearby called me and said they found a baby garter snake...he appeared injured. after getting there and checking him out, I am surprised he survived as long as he did. he appears to be a baby from last summer, small wandering garter.....and he appears to have a bad case of scoliosis.....how this little fella survived I don't know....but will do my best to give him a comfortable life here at my home.
