I found a baby garter in my local park today and he was in pitiful condition. I was picking up litter when I found it. It had a few large tumors and its spine was kinked. I've always wanted to find a snake, but not like this. There are signs all around warning people not to eat the fish. I guess this little guy didn't get the memo. Despite its condition, it moved well and seemed energetic. I don't suspect it's long for this world. The deck is stacked against little snakes under the best of circumstances, but I imagine he'll give as good as he gets for a little while at least. I wished him well then I let him go.
