My first garter snake! I'm not sure this is "technically" field herping but since it's pics of a garter snake I figured this was the place. I've never seen one here, we have a ton of turtles, rabbits, otters, ducks, frogs, and foxes around and it's about time a snake showed up. She actually caught one yesterday too and let it go before I actually saw it (mom yelled and she dropped it and ran away.) Today she brought this one onto the back porch and meowed to be let in - I think she was proud. I was horrified and picked him up and looked him over and he didn't have a single mark on him. Took a couple quick pics then released him in the garden way at the back of our yard. He didn't seem too shaken up about the cat attack, but I really hope she stops doing this (last year she kept sneaking the same dead chipmunk into the house... ugh)

Here's a picture of the fuzzy snake hunter -
