Re: Your Gartering "Technique"
My method- see snake, grab snake. Any way I can.
Without hurting the snake of coarse. If the snake bites you thats good, because that means you have a better chance of getting a hold of him.

Re: Your Gartering "Technique"
By steve irwin.. do you mean diving into a lake at a moment's notice to grab one?
If so.... I've done that twice! I usually am very aggressive when it coms to caching snakes. Luckily I have great eyesight and I'm able to identify any snake even in motion instantly... then before I even know what is happening I am on the ground with my hand on any part of the snake I can be on... I have cut/scratched myself up pretty good for snakes. I chipped my kneecap in the effort to catch the hypo female!

Scrapes, cuts, bruises- no big deal. Just keep me away from poison oak. I'll herp around it, but not in it.

Re: Your Gartering "Technique"
I've been doing the Steve Irwin style since I was a kid!!!! always diving after critters. I was out with my brother and caught a leopard frog jumping across a streem. I dove over the small stream and caught him in mid-air. I hit the ground and rolled. I was a lot younger then..not so sure it would end up as nice and neat as that time.....
