Thanks! She's so precious, I love catching glimpses of her whenever she happens to be out...which isn't often, as expected, but I take that as a good thing.

I had only one a long time ago that I caught in my backyard and cared for him (or her!) about...7 to 8 years. I'm unsure how old he was when I caught him, though. He was a western garter snake, and boy did I love him so much. He was such a sweetheart, never once bit me and no doubt is the reason I love snakes so much as I do today.

Oh wow, those must be gorgeous snakes! Do you breed garters or keep them as pets?
