Todays finds
another trip to nailors run park today around 2 oclock and i caught 5 garters , lost one kinda...just listen, and caught 4 watersnakes and seen 3 getaway.
the garter that got away ......wel my girlfriend spotted him in some shrubs peekin his head out and evrytime i go in for him he goes back under allthe thorn thicket. i waited a good 20 minutes caught another garter snake and decided to let it go ontop of this mess of thorn bushesand see if u can lure whatever else was under tehre out . sure enough 20 mins later i walk back to the spot and both and there balled up in each other, i left them alone so it was not an official catch, and it was almost like hookin a good friend up with a date in a way .lol here some snaps of the decent sized watersnakes that i also caught . 3 garters were juvenilles 2 were adults and so was the one that i couldnt get with hand but lured out.     |

Re: Todays finds
I've always wondered if water snakes go underwater or if they just float like garters.

Re: Todays finds
Always makes me wonder why I live in Canada. While the snow is still melting during the day, we are still in the minus at night. It will be weeks before the first garters emerge.

Re: Todays finds
Jason,
Our daytime temps have been up in the lower-to-mid 30s, and the sun has been causing a lot of snow to melt. Do you call it "break-up" in Canada? Break-up isn't more than about three weeks away. Then I'd be confident enough to have a few more snakes shipped up to me  .Rick |

Re: Todays finds
If I were you I would take a nice, week long trip here. The only downside is the plane ticket price. Ouch.
