I met a snake again
(hexbear.net)
I love garter snakes so much, this one was curious and friendly and slid right across my leg after telescoping a bit for me to take a photo.
I live close to some big farm fields and during the summer these fields are just teeming with garters. When i was a kid id run the fields, catch a few and try to feed them crickets i caught. Ive probably yoinked a few hundred of them and never been bit. They’re extremely docile. Even somewhat tolerant of rough handling, without biting.
Kinda jealous tbh, snakes don't really like the acidic pine soil around my house so I don't interact with them super often
