TEENY baby snake found in my back yard, injured! :( help!

[ConcinusMan]

So what kind of garter are we talking about?

[snakems]

I just feel so cruel, like maybe I should have just somehow put him out of his misery when I found him. He lived for about two days suffering I believe. Ugh... I'm so distraught.

It was an eastern garter. It's all Ive ever seen in my area.

[snakems]

looked exactly like these guys pretty much. I had just a little earlier found two other babies. Same species.

[snakems]

there's two in that pic. .... I posted them in another thread a couple weeks ago I believe.

So sorry. I was so sure he'd make it, but snakes are strange that way. Especially young ones. Personally, from the description of his injuries, I would have tried to save him too.

Another injured snake in this forum was pretty severe, and I would have put him down, but he survived and is doing fine. Go figure.

So sorry, Snakems. You did the best you could. I would have done things exactly as you did.
