    snakes found

    Couple stories. First, I went to my usual snake catching spot and saw about 5 or 6 males garters basking. I hand caught some tadpoles and threw them at the snakes. After a minute or so one of the snakes ate it. I repeated that a few times, it was pretty cool to see.

    Then my friend was telling me today that she saw about 20 baby garters coming out of a stone wall. So I went to this location, and it was later in the day so the sun wasnt strong so we only saw 3, but they are about 5 inches long and we kept 2.

    Here are some of the male garters I fed tadpoles to.

    What an exciting-looking place. I bet you could sit on those sunny rocks watching garters crawl around for hours .

    Those are beauties. Feeding wild snakes is a blast (it is on my to do list, outside). I never knew garters were so special.
