I just received a garter from my friend at the rescue...he picked it up from a lady that found it last saturday here in West Valley City, a suburb of Salt Lake City. she lives about 2 miles from me. it was cold out saturday and had snowed the night before. she found the little garter on her back porch. he has some gunk or something in his mouth and I am warming him up and will get a better look at it later, not sure if its from an injury or dirt. talk about cold tolerant!!!! I will post photos later, nice yellow stripes, brown color.... kinda odd to find this time of the year here.
