Today I cut a new yard in the neighborhood. They wanted to just pay me for the work but I held out for something more. I wanted pay and all the garter snakes I could find. They agreed without a fight. Boy, did I get a good deal.
While I was moving some tall grass I noticed this first snake heading for cover.
Then I found this little plump girl. Check out her orange dorsal.
Both snakes will spend sometime on the Ranch before being relocated to my backyard. In all honesty the little orange dorsal girl may stay for the Winter and Spring and Summer
