    beautie's in the backyard

    hey,
    since we moved here in 2000,the backyard has always had Western Plains Gartersnakes.Every year where seeing more and more,as we setup the backyard to be a sancutary for them.






    we,ve rescued them from the road,the jaws of cats,and lawn mowers.Fresh water and numerous hiding places,thru out the yard.





    this year where seeing extra large ones ,hitting 30"+,in a months,the yard will be alive ,with little ones.
