Ain't she pretty?
« on: September 18, 2017, 12:01:55 pm »
Actually it could be a he to, I really didn't check. Found this little guy in the garage this morning. I had to relocate em before the wife got the garden hoe. Gee I just can't imagine why she gets so worked up about these beautiful, harmless binifical creatures. Must be a girl thing.

Cute little thing!  Not the kind to be worried about, but might be to small to help with the mice!  Too small for backing or breakfast >:D!

I found one this morning myself, not a garder though. I'm guessing it's a checkered or a red aided garder? Pretty little thing whichever it is.

BJ, my wife and I camped near Evart last weekend. It has a mile long seasonal road going into the camp area. I walked it several times a day while scouting for critters. I found at least eight dead juvenile snakes no bigger than 6" long max. Garters, corn and blue racers. I have no clue why the young ones decided to come out, but they did and got ran over.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Kyle, that's a Ringneck.

I just realized the way I worded all that. I meant to say that the one BJrogg found is one of those types of garders. Ring necks are one of my favorites to catch. You can get handfuls in a hurry and not worry about getting bit.

Uwe just a garter I believe.
That a beautiful little snake Kyle looks like a fine piece of jewelry.
Pearl Drums it seems like there's a week or so every year I'll find them laying on my driveway and sometimes to my wife's horror in my house.

I find lots of ring neck snakes here. The other day I found a worm snake. I've never seen one except in pics so I knew what it was when I saw it.  A few garder snakes have shown up lately too. The ones with the yellow stripes.

Never thought about that before. No wonder my wife hates snakes!
