Eastern blackneck Garter Snake

One of the most cold-tolerant snakes in the world, garter snakes are usually active early and later in the year than other species.

Valley garter snakes often have red spots on their sides.

Garter snakes are harmless to people, but have mildly venomous saliva.

Foxes, raccoons, pigs, turkeys, and guinea hens are some of the natural predators of snakes.
