    Amazing that you caught it in your sleep. My gf would freak out if she heard this though

    I'm on an island here. Nobody else close to me is working with Garters, that I know of. I'm the only one who publicly supports the little creatures. I get a lot of strange looks when they hear I have anything to do with them. Boy, are they missing out. Just means more for me.
    I'm sure I'll be tagged the "Crazy Garter Snake guy" in the future. Stories will be told to neighborhood children about me and my house. "HE'S GOT THOUSANDS OF SNAKES IN THERE AND HE FEEDS THEM SMALL CHILDREN" Other elderly people will be seen feeding the squirrels and birds. I'll be out talking to and hand feeding the radixes
    I can see it now. Me in a pair of bib overalls, radixes hanging out of every pocket. The committment papers signed by a judge and the Sheriff's Dept. serving the papers. The deputies sent to get me will argue as to who has to transport, me since I smell like Garter musk. It'll be a thing of beauty.

    you probably do smell sufficiently like non-stressed garter that they feel comfortable around you, even if they haven't met you before

    That is the nicest thing anyone has said to me in a long time. You've made my day. Heck you've made my month.

    More likely, they'll be arguing who gets to go onto the property to arrest you. "Is you kiddin' Sherf? I ain't goin' in thar! Thems snake'll git me!"

    On the up side, at least they're giving them to someone who knows something about them.
