    I see them sunning themselves on the running trails these days, I didn't realize that there were so many around where I live.

      They're great snakes to have around, especially in the garden! They'll sometimes eat slugs, so whenever I run into a garter snake I bring them over to the garden and hope they stick around for at least a little while.

        Yeah. It's a bit far away, sadly, I don't think the snakes would be too amused about being carried by a jogger for a mile and a half.

          Haha you never know! This garter snake REALLY enjoyed being held, and even sat in the tub with me while I took a bath. With how tame they were, and the unusually bright colors they had, I was a little worried he/she was someone's pet that escaped. I asked around though and never got any information.

    Gorgeous capture. I especially love all of the subtle tonal shifts in the scales depending on lighting and position.

      aw, thanks! I can't take all the credit though, the garter snake was definitely a camera hog and was kind enough to let me get some good photos. :P

        True enough, although you can still take credit for getting their good side!
