Shorter Garter by accident

Sorry to hear this happened but I'm sure he'll forgive you

An interesting note to add is his tail tip was twitching a lot as if to keep a predator intrigued for a moment or two give the snake little more time to get away.

I know that lizard tails do that. At least the Anoles and w/e Geckos we have here do. I always figured it was for the same reason.

I found a twitching tail tip of a skink in my driveway the other day lol. Twitched for like 4 minutes.

I wish we had skinks or anoles in mi.
We have nests and salamanders, but I've never seen one in the wild.
