      I mean yeah it’s a giant snake ball but the worst thing a garter can do to you is stink on you as a means of self defense 😄 They’re tiny and goofy and among the few potential pet snakes that can be kept without being fed vertebrates.

        Well garden spiders also don’t pose any harm, but I don’t fancy getting into a giant ball of them

        I had one draw blood this spring! Granted, it was barely anything, but it still blew my mind it was capable of doing that.

            Picked it up like I usually do. This one was particularly feisty, striking at everything. Got me just right I guess.

        They do bite. It doesn’t really hurt but it’s shocking when it happens.
