those snakes are WIERD.
They have an anti-freeze in their blood that lets them stay frozen through winter, then they just thaw out and slither away.

I got this huge water fall. Tons of frogs. Then one day I drive up and there is a 5 maybe 6 food garter snake going into hiding. Had no idea they were eating frogs. These frogs make so much noise I thought some one would call Sheriff.

Anabolic Member

Anabolic Member
We got water snakes that are not so nice. Moved here from Hawaii. No snakes at all. Very expensive though. Average house over 1/2 million.
Dbol Junkie
problem is people are so afraid of snakes that they usually kill them if they see them.
that fu_kin pisses me off

its possible to tame down just about anything... cept for maybe an aligator snapping turtle.

I relocated a racoon a couple of weeks ago driving my dogs crazy. Barking in the middle of the night stuff. I thought it was a ferro cat.

I ****ing hate snakes. As a matter of fact, I ran a medical call last night where some ****ing dumbass got bit by a snake running through the bushes drunk. By the time we got out to the call, some guy told us the moron decided to drive himself to the hospital. And the bite was on his shoulder, not the leg!!! I hope he made it there before the poison got to his heart or brain. **** the snakes

It wouldn't hurt to have it checked out imo. Especially if there was quite afew of them.
Dbol Junkie
id be willing to bet almost anything that its a garter snake.
if it were in another country then id definately check it out with a pro, but in america, we only got a few types of poisonous snakes. rattle snakes, copper heads, coral snakes, and cotton mouths. this does not look like any of these types of snakes
