^ I was thinking of this too. Would size make any difference? Handling a 2.5 foot long garter versus a little 14 inch garter?
I've been out near the beach this summer and the native wandering garters were a breeze to handle (if you could catch them). They were all a good 2.5 feet long or bigger, and surprisingly mild mannered for being feral snakes.

That's funny.

Feral animals are domesticated animals which have gone out into the wild and take care of themselves, such as dogs, cats, domestic pigs, goats, ducks, etc. At this point, I don't consider any snake to actually be domesticated but that's up for debate I suppose.

I thought that trick only worked with warm blooded animals, like dogs, cats and small rodents o.O

Oh no. That's where you're wrong. I've had snakes that absolutely love me and most people but just hate others. They don't react badly until they get a good "sniff"
