Just wanted to say hello, I've been collecting Garter snakes most of my life. It was the first snake I ever saw and have been captivated ever since. Now, I'm almost 50 and still have a deep regard for them and their safety. My 5 children also have my respect for them and one of my daughter is following in my footsteps. We have had 3 groups born this year and am expecting another group in early Dec. This last group from a baby born last fall. I will try to post a few photos as soon as I can. Great finding so many people also seeing something special in the little "scrubs". That's the name my daughter gave them. Hoping to make contact with you.
