Mama Boots.....
I found this Plains Garter snake on
the doormat in the garage.
Looks like we have one less mouse around the house!
Life is a highway.... I am living a dream as I travel and explore our world. What will I find around the next corner?
Have you ever thought of the meaning of "four"? Four is the number of: seasons in a year. corners and sides to a square. virtues....
Garter snakes are great mousers! Snakes are cool and good predators. When I was about 8 years old, I brought a garter snake home. My mother didn't bat an eye and I was able to keep him for a few days before she convinced me that he would be much happier out in the grass with his friends. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a snake on our property - a garter snake would be most welcome.
ReplyDeleteI prefer unseen snakes thanks. My brothers used to throw garter snakes at me, and I have had an aversion to them ever since. Nice mouse-sized lump though.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty snake. I could use one in my potting shed.

We have snakes, but I never see ones that I recognize as harmless. We have copperheads and ones that look like copperheads, and I avoid them all.
ReplyDeleteWow! At first I thought you were going to say that someone stepped on it. Pretty snake.
ReplyDeleteAt first I wasn't catching on to your comment about the mouse... but THEN I see, you are probably right about that! At least garter snakes are harmless...
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty! I love garter snakes. When I find one, I take it to the garden.
ReplyDeleteI like garter snakes. My brother caught one when I was a kid and we tried to keep it in a shoebox, but it wouldn't eat the dead flies we served it, so we let it go.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. . . is it wrong to feel kinda bad for the mouse, though?
ReplyDeleteLucky thing. Fewer mice is always a good thing, though, I do have to admit that I always get a case of the "awwwwww's" when I see one. They're such cute little nuisances.
