Re: Garage Monster!
Nice Garter. She could very well be gravid. They often mate as soon as they come out of burmation.

Re: Garage Monster!
She looks beautiful. If you keep her, keep her away from everyone else. Check the care sheet on the home page for the length of quarentine. Good luck and great save. It would have been a shame to run over such a fine looking snake.

Re: Garage Monster!
Nice find! It reminds me of a T. e. vagrans that I found with a stub tail and some pretty bad scarring, she was definately a trooper. I have seen her every spring for the last few years, and is now known as Big Bertha.

Re: Garage Monster!
Very nice! Looks like she's had a rough go of it out there.
Good thing she didn't have to add being run over to the list!

Re: Garage Monster!
Aw poor punkin... do you plan on keeping her?
TamiOh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
