Garter snake
« on: April 21, 2005, 13:29:12 »
Out taking a bike ride when I came across this "Garter snake." No, it's not a pet...can't stand them. But they are interesting.
                                 



They are harmless, but when they bite they tend to hang on to you.
                                      ;D ;D ;D ;D

I love to see snakes in their natural environment rather than in someone's living room in a vivarium. Great snaps Glyn as always.  :D

I love them too, and couldn't believe how wonderful they feel the first time I touched one.
And I agree with you Eileen, they should be allowed to live in their natural habitat.

Wow! That's beautiful! I love snakes! I agree with Waggi - where in the country are you, Glyn? I've never seen any of our native snakes. My boyf has a resident slow worm in his garden and that's exciting to me!!   8)

I thought it couldn't have been our landscape Glyn,great pics  ;D

We used to have a couple of garter snakes and a beautiful big black Tarantula called Webster LOL!!!! l wanted my kids to grow up not being afraid of snakes and spiders,l don't think l could have coped with a larger snake that eats mice as l like them too.Garter snakes like grasshoppers  >:( saying that l did feel sorry for them too.

My horror are Maggots  :o :o :o............hate them  :o
