WW: Hibernating snake


(Found this garter snake [Thamnophis sirtalis] asleep under a tarp that had been pulled over a stack of gardening supplies sometime last year. He didn't even flinch when I lifted the tarp, put it back, or lifted it again later to get the photo. So the dude's out for the duration.

I'll look for him out and about after things warm up.)


Appearing also on My Corner of the World.

  1. That looks nasty. Is it poisonous?

  2. Not poisonous at all. In fact, they're very sweet animals. I used to keep them as temporary pets (guests, I guess) when I was a kid.

    Thanks for the comments!
