10. My brother (12) and I caught two baby garter snakes at the apartment complex we were living in. Then when we moved a few months later and were catching grasshoppers to feed to our praying mantis, the neighbor thought we were looking for snakes and gave us a big (female) garter snake they had recently caught. We kept her nearly two years but she then decided to surprise us with a litter of 12 babies and that was enough for our mom, who wasn't a big fan of the snakes in the first place and she made us let them all go at the nearby marshy area. I had actually just watched a show on live births in reptiles and birds and retained sperm, or we'd all have been very confused by that!
