Hey, Sandy Frost, welcome to Pet Talk - we have a garter snake in the yard somewhere, but we don't see it often, like most wild snakes, it's pretty shy. But I once found its shed skin amongst the daylilles, must have been a good spot to rub up against, all those stems!

I have always thought snakes were really neat, I was a disappointment to boys on the playground in elementary school when they would find a snake and chase the other girls with it, and they'd run up to me, and instead of running away, I'd ask to hold it!
