Or also known as the Wandering Garter snake.
I had no idea we had snakes in our area or neighborhood until today!
Isabel and I were driving back home from school when I noticed this reptile crossing the main road to our house. I thought ran it over but after stopping the car and getting out, we realized it was still alive. Luckily, I also able to get a photo with my camera too.
It’s a Western Terrestrial Garter snake (which means it’s not poisonous to humans)
and it can get up to 42 inches in length.
This one was a good size.
I tried getting a picture of it’s bright red tongue but it was to fast.
Isabel wanted to pick it up but I told her I wasn’t sure if it was poisonous to us, so we just observed it and it watched us.
