Unfortunately, despite their harmless nature, many people fear garter snakes. And yet these docile creatures play an important role in your garden's ecosystem - they eat earthworms, frogs, and mice, among other things. <BR/>In turn, they provide an important food source for many birds and mammals...."<BR/>A garter snake's first instinct when faced with an oncoming predator, such as man, is to hide. Most times you won't even know that there are snakes around. If backed into a corner, many snakes will try to bluff their way out through a show of temper. It is only once picked up that garter snakes will attempt to bite. They will also release a foul-smelling musky liquid as a form of defence. That's the worst that the situation will get, which is no biggie....<BR/><BR/>In the winter snakes hibernate. Incapable of long migrations, snakes must find a suitable hibernaculum in the vicinity of their summer haunts. They require a secure den with a low temperature that remains above freezing, which your foundation may provide for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21208332.post-4580484156372077922007-10-27T17:28:00.000-06:002007-10-27T17:28:00.000-06:00Put it "On the motherfuckn' plane!"Put it "On the motherfuckn' plane!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21208332.post-86034270639046410792007-10-27T16:56:00.000-06:002007-10-27T16:56:00.000-06:00You know, I've got this thing about snakes...I pro...You know, I've got this thing about snakes...I probably would have jumped on the couch and pointed at the snake and yelled "Snake!" a bunch until someone finally showed up to take care of it...though, I realize that if I were in your situation that might be a while...I can see the phone call to work now "I'm sorry, I can't come in today because there's a snake crawling around in my living room and I'm taking refuge by standing on my couch."katinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658859113915782535noreply@blogger.com
