I happened to see one lone male this last spring.
As if life isn't hard enough for garter snakes then we have creatures with superior intelligence and abilities refusing to help them.
Even in fields dedicated to the conservation of wildlife garter snakes are deemed not worth saving in most cases.
I'm embarrassed to be a human sometimes, many times.
