Nice catch Arne. The only thing better than a snake picture is a snake video 😊 Congratulations on the nomination. Thanks for sharing.

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!

GREAT PIC! Every year I look forward to GrandMother gartersnake to emerge on our few acres. Not sure where her lair is but the baby snakes abound every year in the unmowed areas!
