I have one exception: Cremepuff, my big garter from last year, was a VERY plump individual. I'm thinking he/she had prime rodent real estate in the compost heap I found him/her. Also, I failed to catch a 4ft garter who had taken residence in another compost heap about... I'd say 30 yards away. This one was also very plump. Maybe it's from rodents, or from a constant supply of worms, I don't know.
