"Preparing For First shed"
Re: Another snake den being destroyed
Poor snakes!! It's a good thing you're there to at least save some... Good luck on your next trip!
WOW, Northwesterns really do have incredible variation, don't they? I used to live on the coast of Washington, in the northern Willapa Bay/Valley area. Pretty sure the only garters native to the area are Northwesterns, and they ranged from very yellow, to very brown (much like the younger, duller snakes in your picture), to very dark, to "silvery" and even patternless powder-blue! (Yeah--I'm still really PO'ed at my brother for NOT catching those last two for me, lol!!!)

"Preparing For Second shed"
Re: Another snake den being destroyed
I'd take some IF I had anymore space! I'm all full up for snakes! Its a shame too as Bogo and Ruby have been so good to me that I now have a soft spot for garters of any persuasion.
My father was a wildlife conservationist before he retired. He'd be all up in arms about this if it happened close to him!
Wish you luck! Maybe they'll fail the perk tests OR SOMETHING and won't be able to continue.

Have you tried contacting your local Fish & Wildlife Com.? Dens are USUALLY protected.

yea....right....... a friend at the reptile rescue and I met up with a wildlife officer here in Utah at a den site here thats being destroyed..... he didn't believe us.... did nothing to protect the den dens are protected by law here, but this is a garter snake den....they didnt do a darn thing. it's not a high profile thing like a rattlesnake den so they won't save it. I happened to see one lone male this last spring.

Re: Another snake den being destroyed
what was the final count on the snakes you managed to save from this area?

Re: Another snake den being destroyed
Only 7. The weather took a turn for the worse and stayed that way. I wasn't able to make it out there again. All 7 are doing well. One is still with me.
