Re: Eastern Garter snake drowned and braught back to life ...intense story inside

Hey Ryan,
Quick thinking. This won't be pleasant to hear, but I want to be honest with you. If she's been out of brumation for a week and eating, the "drowning" wasn't linked to brumation. I'm sorry to say, but there must be something else wrong with her. I definitely wouldn't release her because she'll be in contact with other wild snakes, and she might might harm your local wild population. You might consider calling a vet to see if they can make any recommendations. I'm afraid you're probably not out of the woods with her, yet. Keep your fingers crossed.
Rick
