What time of year is the best to start looking for garters. Is there a temperature that the air or ground has to reach? Here in Washington it's around 40-55 degrees F , until about mid to late April and then starts to get warmer. Is that the best time? or should I wait until it gets 60 degrees plus. Also where is the best place to look? I have a 2 acre deep property that I live on that is very wooded in most of the property but not very moist. Should I look closer to the waters edge (where my WC was found) or under wood ? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.
