Hi all,
I rescued three baby garter snakes 4 days ago after their mother was killed by the gardener at my apartments. My friend and I managed to pull them out of the dead mother along with 6 other live garters. We released the other 6 into a park next to our apartments and I took three of them to take care of them. Their names are Emperor Augustus, Robert Zimmerman, and Hemingway.
here's a quick video

Re: Hello!
Good save! Not many people could muster up the stomach to extract those babies.
at least only 1 life was lost, not 10

Re: Hello!
lol... I was thinking the same thing Kev... and mine are 5 or 6 weeks old
turns out they may not be garters, but water snakes. Awesome rescue regardless
