Found my first snake of the season today too

[0TG]

Only it's not a Garter snake.

BTW, howdy all.

Found this little guy today in the boiler room at a customers house. Scooped him up and put him in a bucket before she could see otherwise he would have been dead.

I live in upstate NY about 50 miles north of NYC.

My first guess was an Eastern Milksnake but I didn't know they came this far north. What do you all think?

Your first guess was right, Nick. I think they're found as far north as Maine.

[0TG]

Heh, thought so. Never seen one up in these parts. Ah well, I think with this one I'll let him go and just not take my chances.

[adamanteus]

Have you not been tempted to try Garters again Nick, since the 'lawn mower' incident?

[0TG]

I have, but to be honest I've been a bit busy lately and I'm afraid that I barely have the time to properly care for all the creatures I have now, so no more new ones in the near future unless I decide to sell off some of my corns.

[enigma200316]

yeah deff. an Eastern Milk, and go head sell them corn and get some Garters..............

Maybe it was her long lost pet?

LOL! Good point, Esther!

lampropeltis triangulum triangulum... wish I could find one already!!!!

Apparently milk snakes live around here, but I've never, ever seen one........
I'm just praying it warms up enough soon to go out and find anything!
