A friend of mine sent me this pic of a snake living in her garden. I told her that it looks to me like an Eastern Garter. What do you guys think?

A friend's snake pic.
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

Northwestern Mississippi.
Some of her friends are urging her to kill it. Others to leave it alone. I've assured her it is harmless, and have offered to remove it if she has a problem with itPeople assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

No, didn't you read? It's a garden snake.

Re: A friend's snake pic.
Odds are Its an eastern. Its definitely harmless and shouldn't be killed.

Re: A friend's snake pic.
Not to worry. She seems resigned to leave it alone for now, and if it does trouble her, I think she'll give me a call before taking drastic measures.

Re: A friend's snake pic.
Well, in Poland some ppl that own little pond with fish in their garden, tend to hate Natrix natrix, because they're more than happy to eat them (fish, not owners). In Poland any reptile is under protection though and only really ******** folks do actually kill them. Not to mention really, really sick ppl that fear every snake and kill it on sight (you know, EVERY snake is venomous).
I imagine, that same thing applies to garters and ribbons in USA and Canada.
And just a thought... Do you think, that Natrix natrix can breed with T. sauritus (easter ribbon)? Yeah, I know Natrix natrix lays eggs, but I heard that nature WILL find a way.

Re: A friend's snake pic.
She was under the impression that the snake was "watching her." I assured her that it's because the snake just wants to make sure she doesn't try to eat it. Originally Posted by d_virginiana
