I herped at work!

[Drewby07]

Found this little guy outside of the building where I work. Eastern Garter?

He's pretty docile...froze when he saw me and I picked him up. Didn't even attempt to bite, musked like all hell though! uke01:

 

[JoshnJJ]

Yeah, it seems like a eastern garter.

 

[SnakesRule1234]

Yup, eastern garter. Looks lots like mine...

 

[Diva]

hes beautiful. i find garters here all the time, but nothing that pretty. =]

 

[JoshnJJ]

I caught this snapping turtle at my (old) work this summer.

Same size as my hand, indeed pretty.

Cool find! Are you keeping him or did you release him after some shots?

 

[JoshnJJ]

Cool find! Are you keeping him or did you release him after some shots?

Who me or him?

 

[Drewby07]

I'm probably going to keep the garter, at least for a while. I happen to have an unoccupied viv at the moment and several hundred frozen pinks and fuzzies, so what the heck!

 

[Maize411]

Cool..and sorry for the confusion..I meant the garter not the turtle..sorry :0)

 

[JoshnJJ]

Oh haha, yeah I got confused.

 

[krtemt]

what about the turtle? Congrats on the snake find by the way

I too have "Herped At Work". Rescued this guy from being squorshed. He was hiding under a tire of a car in the parking lot at work. Relocated to a safer location.

Set the garter up in his new home...he seemed to like it. Came out and explored for a while, so I gave him a big fat earthworm. He gobbled it right down. Guess he's going to make a good pet after all!

He is, however, not allowed in the snake room. He is set up in a "display" type cage in the loving room.
