Garter snakes form surprisingly strong, human-like friendships
Pretty cool study, Yay for Garter Snakes being sociable to each other
" A recent study published in the journal Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, suggests they form strong bonds with others of their kind. And they prefer to spend their time with friends, rather than alone."

From all the snakes I've known over the years, I think this may well apply to other kinds too...more "social" (or at least capable of understanding) than generally given
credit for. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Maybe the snakes should be social distancing too.

I have seen many keepers attest that garters do better when kept in groups! Nice to see some real research on this. I believe that all animals are probably smarter than we give them credit for
