SNAKE IN THE GRASS

20200603_180027 2.jpg

A foot and a half long Garter snake, curled up at the base of my big Black Walnut tree.

I see him here all the time. Then discovered he has a hole nearby.

White thing is a rounded stone.

Have seen a few Garter snakes this Spring. All sizes, with one big one almost 3 feet.

The small ones eat any small bug, mostly earth worms or animal they can find ... They are in all the 48 States, much of Canada, Mexico and into Central America.

They do produce a mild venom, thou not dangerous to humans...

They are pretty much safe.. One year I ran one over with my push lawn mower. Sliced it open.. Had to chop off it's head to put out of it's misery. Felt so bad...

Ya! That’s quite hard having to do thing like that for suffering snake. The same feeling when they had to shoot the horse for broken legs!

Hope it stays nice and warm the whole summer!
