Slither
A harmless Terrestrial Garter snake (Thamnophis elegans). This one is about 2 ft (.65 m) long, and was quite docile -- I was holding it when I took this picture.
This photo was taken on July 27, 2010 using a Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd.

Great shot. I usually see them active here in spring and fall. We almost always have a few around our gardens and ponds.

Awesome catch! You are the only girl I know who will pick up a snake to get the shot. Now if he just would flick the longue out at the right time . . .
