| Description: | Garter Snakes are also very very common in American Backyards. Often called Garden snakes, these colubrids are the most frequent victim of ignorant humans weilding gardening tools. They have no venom an'd don't get to be very big. They are common and easy pets. Garters eat fish and small mammals and are almost always near/in a body of water. In the winter masses of garters migrate to canada to hibernate. They go underground to do so, much like rattle snakes. In the spring thousands upon thousands of snakes come back to the surface to mate. They form "mating balls". With a singe femaLS in the center, about twenty males surrounding her will attempt to push their way to her. Unlike most other reptiles, Garter snakes often get more markings as they mature. |
