You know the funny thing is...I see people talking about going out herping....in the Spring, I only have to walk out into my backyard and it will be a herpfest. My entire yard is completely overrun by garters...you can see the burrows everywhere and we see them all over our yard, and they come into our basement. Speaking of which, I found a snake in the fall living under our steps outside that I believe to be Selena's mom. Do you think she would have made it through this cold winter we are having? I have often wondered if she is okay under there.

Another question...how long do snakes gestate?
