He was about 2 ft. long or more. Must have plenty to eat. Anyway this little guy didn't seem to alarmed at seeing me out today, usually he hides. So far he has not went to any of the neighbors yards, which would probably get him hit with a shovel. Hopefully he makes it through the summer. I could use some good slug and insect control.
This little one is a Eastern garter snake and can be identified by its dark body with three stripes, a thin one on its back and thicker ones on either side. They are a nonvenomous species and release a foul smell if attacked, they will bite if provoked. Its diet consists of lizards, rodents, amphibians, turtles, slugs, small fish, insects and birds.
The average adult garter snake is 18 - 26 inches long, yet can reach a maximum length of 36 inches.
A garter snake's life expectancy is no longer than ten years.
I myself like to watch them and as a kid watched one catch lightening bugs in the yard. Never knew they ate those... anyway most people kill these on sight. I would advise unless they are a real problem inside the house, (and you can catch those and relocate) Just leave em in the grass. They will help with pest control.
They do tend to freeze when people pass making them prime targets for lawn mowers.. so If your inclined. sweep through the yard once to scare them out of the grass before mowing. I do advise no wild animal should be caught and kept as a pet.
