Can you tell me a bit more about this den site? Is it literally just a few holes in the ground like an old rabbit hole? Or is there a hollow bank or something? I've always pictured garter dens as being holes in steep banks, but I've not seen one in person.ChrisT. marcianus, T. e. cuitzeoensis, T. cyrtopsis, T. radix, T. s. infernalis, T. s. tetrataenia

Re: pic of mating ball I think
You guys are very welcome. I will get more pictures if they come out again!! It's actually just a flat piece of ground there is a large circle of deag grass and their holes are in the center. There is one 3 inch by 3 inch hole and then a couple more 1 inch holes. I will try and get a better picture of the den for you!!

Re: I desperately need help with a question!!!
Very cool! You are most fortunate to have seen this phenomenon in person.
If you garden, count yourself lucky to have garters around (Tho not many will hang about after mating season.) most varieties love slugs.

Lucky you are, and I'm green with envy also. *sigh* I think I'm just gonna stay away from the forum until I can locate one for myself, this is to depressing.

They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

Re: I desperately need help with a question!!!
There are many holes in my yard. Hoping and praying that a big mating ball will spring up on top of one of them! If so, I will be so excited that I will pass out on the ground and probably miss getting any pics for you guys.

Re: I desperately need help with a question!!!
Do you think they will come out and mate again or is it just a one time thing? I wonder when they will leave the den for the summer. Here in Nebraska the weather is so unreliable. April and May can still have a frost. I will definitely keep you guys posted with anymore activity or pictures!!
