Coastal BC Reptiles: Wandering Garter Snake
Wandering Garter Snake
Two weeks ago, I shared about the garter snakes that we see around our float cabin up here on Powell Lake.There are two varieties that visit us. One is the Common Garter Snake. The other is the Wandering Garter Snake. I think this is the Wandering kind.
This week I was sitting on the front porch when something caught my eye. I just happened to have my camera at hand, just in time to capture a swimming Wandering Garter Snake heading my way. They are so graceful. -- Margy

DeleteI've long heard of garter snakes but have never seen one in the water or in the grass. They probably would scare me, lol.
ReplyDeleteWe usually see our sunning themselves on the deck. - Margy
