First garter of the year

Wow! You DID get close. Did you have to restrain him, or did you just take these shots while he was roaming around?

Yeh, I really hate having to mess with a snake to take it's pic. You can usually tell when this is done, just by the snake's body positioning and general attitude. It's always better, in my opinion, to catch them in the moment. Just kind of ran into this guy while he was cruising around. Helped that there as this stump he was kind of around, think it gave him a sense of security.
