My fear of having scared off all the garter snakes from my yard have been greatly exaggerated.
There are at least 4 adult individuals.
Gee, do they like pinkies.

All ate thee or four pinkies except one.
That individual (a youngster) wasn't interested in the pinkie at all so I offered "him" some salmon.
He chowed down on that salmon. I hope it doesn't make him sick.

In the process of checking up on the juvenile who would only eat salmon, I found out that someone had babies!
Actually, I knew there were babies in the yard earlier.
While trimming around my old honey-locust tree I found a neonate who was clearly unhappy about my presence.
Damn, was he an angry individual. He did his best rattlesnake imitation and struck at me repeatedly.

Anyway, while checking on the salmon eater, I found another tiny neonate and caught him.
I know there are ethical issues involved with removing a wild snake from his habitat but I think I might keep him over the winter.
I'd love to hear some thoughts from you knowledgeable folks.
