Ah man, my snakes never soak, and I've never seen a wild garter I'm water!!

Hopeless.

Maybe.

I like that one Steve! I even giggled out loud.

Mine don't either. They do tend to enjoy burying themselves in damp moss or substrate from time to time and they sure like to take a dump in the water right after I clean and disinfect it and give them fresh. Without fail, they drink the fresh water and 5 minutes later, it's full of "spit"

Seen plenty of wild garters in water. Concinnus' spend lots of time in water, sitting on the surface in vegetation hoping to ambush a frog or near the waters edge basking. In captivity, mine just don't have anything to do with water other than taking a crap in it.

Well, you've seen plenty of garters jn the wild period. I haven't. I can't figure out of this would be possible... Shucks.

no offense, but the first two entries should be captioned:
"Bathing snakes"
and that´s all I believe to be able to offer...

but I have an idea

"This month's theme, selected by Infernalis is "Swimming Snakes ", showing your own garter snakes or wild ones in water."

This was the description of the theme for this month. I think if we had a video contest it would be easier to show them swimming, but with a still shot any swimming snake is going to look like they are soaking.

Maybe I´m thinking about the wrong meaning of swimming,
because I´m a swim coach
Never meant that the photos doesn´t fit to the theme!
This is too blury:

but I would like to enter a photo of a snake without ground contact.

[katach]

I see what you mean.

Ya know what, it doesn't even matter if had a photo or not. We're not getting a new computer until October.
