Very carefully, I read this article and made sure as I scrolled down to read it, I kept a piece of heavy paper on the screen to prevent from eyeing a picture. I'm so terrified of snakes, any kind of snake, even the garter, that I can't look at one for fear of having a nightmare about snakes. I just can't tolerate them. We used to find one every once in a while around our property, but I buy Snake Away at the local Lowes store to keep them away (as much as that works). I've not seen one in years, thank the good Lord!! I don't garden every year and when I do, I make sure I sprinkle plenty of Snake Away around my gardens before it becomes warm enough for them to be above ground. Everyone always says garters are "more afraid of you than you are of them". I don't believe that's true!! But thankfully I don't run into them...I'd scream bloody murder if I do. :c)
