Garter Snake Mating Ball
A Garter Snake mating ball - unusual as it is up in the bushes and not on the ground. Only two heads are visible, but there are three snakes in this small mating ball - a fourth left after I disturbed them - sorry. Filmed high in the Great Smoky Mountains. This was taken on October 5th on a warm day - typically mating takes place in spring right after they emerge from hibernation, but it can also take place in fall as snakes begin to congregate to hibernate, but these snakes should not be hibernating for at least another month. Garter Snakes are very beneficial snakes to have around the yard and are easy to tell from poisonous snakes - so let them live!

Garter Snake Hunting Among Rocks
A Garter Snake is out looking for a meal among the rocks. By flicking its sensitive tongue close to the ground and moving its head side to side to get air moving into its nostrils it hopes to find something tasty to eat. In this case, perhaps a mouse or more likely a salamander or other small reptile or amphibian.
