This feisty garter snake did not like being handled, but was happy to be released in the woods after straying too close to the lawn mower

See this spotting about the possible dangers of handling even garter snakes: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/111...
This shot reminds me of our son, holding a whole bunch of newborn garter snakes in his hand trying to tell mom all about it..in the house...hahaha..
Very nicely done..
Awesome picture :D
Superb.......but do take a bit of care while handling snakes.!
As a girl my daughter was the one in the neighborhood to call on to remove a snake or skunk. The only time she got bitten was by a garter snake. They seem to have short tempers.
That should read "I love the open mouth shot."
I live the open mouth shot.
