Have seen 3 different type of snakes this week, is it the heat, or do they show up better in the sparse brown grass? There was a green snake in a blueberry bush, a garter and an unidentified snake that was possibly either a rat snake or a black racer. Along with the snake we also saw… drum-roll… snake eggs!!! How often do you get to see them? At other times we have seen ring necked, black snakes, red bellied and milk snakes. Garter snakes do not lay eggs, neither do rattlesnakes. It will be interesting to see what hatches out of these eggs.

  1. Snakes aren't my favorite but for some reason, I'm always drawn to look at them.

  2. If they hatch what will you do with the baby snakes? It will be dangerous for them to go out on their own. Do you think there is a way to increase their natural low-survival rate?
